Speaker 2: started on a brand new week, and before we get

10
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:48,959
Speaker 2: any further, welcome to March. March Madness is here. College

11
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: basketball is heating up. We will discuss everything that's happened

12
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 2: over the course of the weekend, and we will start

13
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: March off by taking a look ahead to the local

14
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 2: teams outlook on what March Madness may or may not

15
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 2: entail this year.

16
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 3: There it is.

17
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the Norse, the Bearcats, the Muskies, the

18
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 2: buck Eyes, the Wildcats, the Cardinals, the Flyers. We'll talk

19
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:28,199
Speaker 2: about the college basketball outlook. What a time of the year.

20
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 2: I might be in the minority here, but these next

21
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 2: couple of weeks. For me, it's kind of I know

22
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 2: we're getting into March, but this, Austin, feels like kicking

23
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: off the new sports here because March madness and conference

24
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: tournaments into March madness. That helps expedite a very lengthy

25
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: spring training. And before you know it, with March madness here,

26
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 2: baseball season is here, NFL offseason, the NFL Draft is here,

27
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: and before you know, we're right back to what it

28
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: is and that's football season. But this kind of this

29
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: to me, is the kickoff of the season. This is

30
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty six kickoff. Welcome to March. While we're

31
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: at it, Welcome back to Cincinnati. Dalton Reisner. Yeah, if

32
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 2: you've missed the news, Dalton Reisner was extended for a

33
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 2: season five million dollar deal. And as you put on Twitter,

34
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: Austin and we will play some of the audio today,

35
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: if you didn't know any better, Dalton Reisner would have

36
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: just signed a lifetime deal worth about three hundred million

37
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: dollars to the Cincinnati Bengals.

38
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 4: I've never heard a player so happy, so grateful, so thankful,

39
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 4: and especially when you consider you know it's not you're

40
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 4: not really breaking the bank here, it's a one year,

41
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 4: five million dollar deal. You would have never guessed.

42
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 2: Unbelievable. It's un believable. It's great for the Bengals. It's

43
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 2: a move that everyone said, why isn't it done, Why

44
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 2: isn't it done? Why isn't it done? The move got done.

45
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: Dalton Riisner is the Cincinnati Bengal. That means last year's

46
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: whole offensive line is going to stay together. They will

47
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 2: be the offensive line going forward this season for the

48
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals. And that's not saying they can't add to

49
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 2: the offensive line in the offseason. That's not saying they

50
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: can't add to the offensive line via the NFL Draft.

51
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: We're already seeing some offensive line moves going down. The

52
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: Houston Texans have traded their starting right tackle Titus Howard

53
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: to the Cleveland Browns for a fifth round draft pick.

54
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: He is now going to receive a three year, sixty

55
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 2: three million dollars deal from the Cleveland Browns. On top

56
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 2: of that, the Kansas City Chiefs have released Juwan Taylor,

57
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: their right tackle. That is going to, I believe, save

58
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 2: the heve's twenty million dollars against the salary Caps, So

59
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: they're going to be under the cap now mentioned Mahomes

60
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 2: a week or so ago, restructured his deal and a

61
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 2: move that just came down pretty much right before we

62
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 2: came on air today, that did. Detroit Lions have traded

63
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 2: their running back David Montgomery to the Houston Texans for

64
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 2: offensive lineman Jew Scruggs and two draft picks.

65
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 4: Great name, Jew Scrugs. I don't understand what the Texans

66
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 4: are doing.

67
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 3: I thought their own line was bad. Anyway, it will

68
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 3: get rid of everybody.

69
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 4: Titus Howard was their best one and now he's gone,

70
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 4: and now Jews Scruggs is gone. And I don't know

71
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 4: if you watched their games at all, but like C. J.

72
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 4: Stroud doesn't have a lot of time. Obviously, they need

73
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 4: to shore up the running back position. I like what

74
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 4: they have at that position, but I don't have a

75
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 4: lot of faith based off the guys that are in

76
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 4: front of them. I have a feeling Houston will be

77
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 4: picking an offensive lineman in the draft.

78
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's very very odd, especially because they went

79
00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: and acquired a running back.

80
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, running back usually needs someone to run behind. At

81
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 4: least David Montgomery can pass block a little bit, so.

82
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: Such he'll be down machine used for that in three

83
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 2: years with the Lions thirty three touchdowns. Of course, Jamiir

84
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: Gibbs is the bell count now with the Detroit Lions.

85
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 2: I like how the Lions did build that they drafted Gibbs,

86
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: they didn't have him take the Lion's share, and then

87
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 2: when he was ready, Gibbs is now the breakout star.

88
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: And with that happening, the Detroit Lions felt like they

89
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 2: can move on from David Montgomery.

90
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 3: I'm curious to see.

91
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 4: I'm sure they'll take a running back in the draft,

92
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 4: maybe earlier than we all expect, and I'm sure he'll

93
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,239
Speaker 4: be a monster. I don't think you just go away

94
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 4: from that system. I'm sure Gibbs will get the majority

95
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 4: of it, but I don't know that you just go

96
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 4: away from it. Also saw from I believe Mike Garretfolo

97
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 4: of NFL Network that Houston was the preferred trade destination

98
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 4: of David Montgomery. So not sure exactly why, but that,

99
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 4: I guess is where he wanted to go if he

100
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 4: was going to be traded, and the Lions made it happen.

101
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

102
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 2: Outside of that and the Dalton Riisner news, We'll keep

103
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 2: you updated with everything going on in the National Football League.

104
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 2: It is Monday, which means we'll have a new mock

105
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 2: draft Monday this afternoon, and we'll recap the combine. The

106
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 2: combine is done, we'll talk about some players that help themselves,

107
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: maybe players that hurt themselves, maybe some of the Bengals prospects.

108
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 2: And we've talked a lot about Jake Golday, Dante Corleone,

109
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 2: and Joe Royer. We didn't spend a lot of time,

110
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: Austin talking about Jeff Caudwell, the wide receiver from the

111
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: University of Cincinnati. He put together a historic, historic performance

112
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 2: at this year's NFL Combine. So we'll tell you more

113
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 2: about what Jeff Cadwell did and if you want to

114
00:06:54,320 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 2: kind of know the how people took note, Todd mcs says,

115
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 2: Jeff Codwell won the combine for wide receivers one the

116
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: combine six five two sixteen. He ran a four to

117
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: three one. His ten yard split was one five to three.

118
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 2: His UH relative athletics score was ten point zero zero Austin.

119
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 2: That was higher than what Calvin Johnson was.

120
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 4: Saw a few of those over the weekend. Sonny styles

121
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,119
Speaker 4: one of them as well. Yeah, just an athletic freak.

122
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 4: Now here's what I don't understand. So, you know, to

123
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 4: trying to draw the comparison of like Carnel Tate, right,

124
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 4: everybody gets all upset because Carnel Tate's forty time is

125
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 4: not what they thought it was going to be. Well,

126
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 4: then his agent gets ahold of Adam Schefter is like, well,

127
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 4: plenty of teams had him time faster in the low

128
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 4: four fours. You know, not what the combine time was.

129
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 4: If you're Jeff Caldwell's agent, why aren't you telling Adam Schefter? Well,

130
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 4: you know some NFL teams actually had him at four

131
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 4: two eight, not at four three one, actually had him in.

132
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 3: The low four Two's unbelievable.

133
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 4: This is got to work both ways, right, Not just

134
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 4: to improve, you know, from a bad time, how about

135
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 4: to improve from an already good time. Jeff Caldwell's agent,

136
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 4: where are you at? But no good to him?

137
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 3: Do that? And you know, I think it's interesting.

138
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 4: We I walked in this morning and we started talking

139
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 4: about Jeff Caldwell and we talked about the Senior Bowl.

140
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 4: Cyrus Allen really turned some heads and Cyrus receiving touchdowns

141
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 4: in a season at U See has shut the UC

142
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 4: record last year, and you, as a former quarterback, immediately

143
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 4: went to and damn Brendan Soresby still couldn't win in November.

144
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 4: So does this make Brendan sores Be look worse? It's

145
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 4: joy that his receivers, I mean looked.

146
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 3: Let's call it. Let lit'sten.

147
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 2: Let's let's let's take one step back and call it

148
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 2: what it is. They had a great offensive line on

149
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 2: top of that, they had a very good running game.

150
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 2: They had Joe Royer, They had these schools now touchdown

151
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 2: in a season record holder and a guy in Jeff

152
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 2: Cadwell who Now you wonder how could you not get

153
00:08:59,600 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 2: that guy?

154
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 4: The more you I have two NFL wide receivers, an

155
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 4: NFL tight end, and probably a couple of guys on

156
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 4: the offensive line.

157
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 3: And one of the best O lines the schools had

158
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 3: in recent memory.

159
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 4: So my translation of that is take the under for

160
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 4: Texas Tech this season? Is that what you're telling me? Homecoming?

161
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 4: Get the countdown clock on. We'll recap as I mentioned

162
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 4: all of the uh scheduling, Texas Tech is homecoming. Maybe

163
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 4: maybe they saw the riding on the wall. Maybe we

164
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 4: got a it would be great if at halftime Soresby

165
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 4: comes out and delivers a one million dollar check, you know,

166
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 4: get one of those big checks that they do, and

167
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 4: Soresby delivers it back to the UC Athletic Department for

168
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 4: the bream coming.

169
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 2: That's that's towards the end of the year. That thing

170
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 2: may be bounced by that. That might be like, hey,

171
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 2: here's a check, don't cash it until next month. Oh

172
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 2: my gosh, we'll wrap up the combine. How about this?

173
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 2: And this probably should have been the lead today. His

174
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 2: airness and my great one, the Goat Jordan. Jordan has

175
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: now said, I'm kind of bored with the NBA thing.

176
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: Let me go dominate NASCAR. And they did something yesterday

177
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: that no NASCAR driver has ever done. Austin Man, not

178
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 2: just the twenty three to eleven team, but the same

179
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 2: driver has now won all three races to start the year.

180
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: That's never happened in the seventy seven year career of NASCAR.

181
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 3: That's pretty amazing.

182
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 2: Tyler Reddick won again yesterday. You're now a believer. I've

183
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: you bought the merch.

184
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 3: Yeah.

185
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 4: So, a couple of my buddies and I have been

186
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 4: watching NASCAR. We've been all in and I texted before

187
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 4: the race yesterday. If a twenty three to eleven car,

188
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 4: which is Jordan and Denny Hamlin's team by.

189
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 3: The way, who Denny Hamlin Josh were different. Yeah, that's weird.

190
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 3: It's weird.

191
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 4: But I said, if one of those cars wins today,

192
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 4: I'm buying merch. And one of my buddies agreed, and

193
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 4: sure enough, Tyler Reddick takes home to checkered flag. So

194
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 4: I've got a twenty three to eleven hat on the way.

195
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 3: Love it.

196
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 4: My buddy's got a Tyler Redick T shirt coming. Wow,

197
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 4: he'll win again.

198
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 3: We're gonna be dialed it now.

199
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 4: You look at the NASCAR Cup Series point standings following

200
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 4: the circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. Tyler Reddick

201
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 4: obviously is number one. Right behind him though his teammate

202
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 4: Bubba Wallace. Wow, and then Chase Elliott, and then Ryan

203
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 4: Blaney and then your guy SVG, Shane Van Gisbergen Love

204
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 4: gisberg who up until yesterday had won five consecutive road

205
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 4: course races. What do you know about SVG. I'm not

206
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 4: talking about Steve Van Gorder up there selling cars in Dayton.

207
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 4: We're talking about Shane Van Gisbergen anyways, was highly entertained.

208
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 4: And Tyler Redick has done it at a super speedway

209
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 4: in Daytona, we did it at at Echo Park in Atlanta,

210
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 4: and now he did it at a road course in Texas.

211
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 4: He'll be out there in Phoenix this week. I hope

212
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 4: the Reds have him over for a day at camp.

213
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: The great Sag Dennison, who, by the way, happy birthday,

214
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 2: Seg Dennison. Today's beside himself. He doesn't know what to

215
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 2: do with this development in NASCAR.

216
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 4: In a typical Seg fashion, he was just upset that

217
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 4: nobody had given him a free hat.

218
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: Yes, he thought maybe the hat could be a thing.

219
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 3: It's not. I could talk about NASCAR for Jordan.

220
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: I liked him after the race too. He's like, look,

221
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 2: I don't know much about this. I'm just the money guy.

222
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 2: I'm just competitive. I'm just competitive up the money and man,

223
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 2: they're seeing the fruits of that, right.

224
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 3: I appreciate the honesty. He's gonna be there next week.

225
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 4: I haven't seen people start to turn on Jordan yet. No,

226
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 4: do you think that will happen? I don't think because

227
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 4: everybody hates a winner, right, I don't think keep winning.

228
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 4: It gets I mean, this has never been seen before, true,

229
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 4: true in NASCAR, So take it all away. We were saying, also,

230
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,719
Speaker 4: there may not be a more likable driver, yeah than

231
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 4: Tyler Reddick.

232
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 2: By the way, he's done appearances on WWE since then.

233
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, they showed the highlight during the race. He drove

234
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,199

00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:02,520

00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 5: fifty tough cold FC Cincinnati loss over the weekend.

245
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 2: They lose one nil to Minnesota. They just can't get

246
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 2: off to that two and oh start in the MLS play.

247
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I heard, you know.

248
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 4: I was doing the game and Tommy g gave that

249
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 4: stat that FC Cincinnati has never started a season MLS

250
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 4: season with back to back league wins, which is kind

251
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 4: of hard to believe considering how good they have been,

252
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 4: it was not easy going up there to Minnesota. The

253
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 4: coldest game in club history at the time of the kickoff.

254
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 4: Also the first time Minnesota has ever held a home

255
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 4: game in February. And I think you know why, brutally

256
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 4: cold up there f c Cincinnati couldn't find the back

257
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 4: of the net. Evander a little bit banged up with

258
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 4: that hamstring injury. Hopefully he'll be back middle of this week,

259
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 4: I think Pat Newton said, hopefully. So tough one there,

260
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 4: but still on works and upward. Orange and Blue shout

Speaker 4: and bombs. They should call it steroid. You talk about

313
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 4: a needle mover.

314
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 3: Sit right there.

315
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 4: I have like this very faint memory of when I

316
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 4: was a kid at Riverfront Stadium seeing Mark McGuire Big

317
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 4: Mac and just being enamored by how big he was,

318
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 4: and like the fear that he struck into the entire ballpark.

319
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 4: It's one of my earliest and most faint memories. But

320
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 4: I have this clear view of Mark McGuire with the

321
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 4: Cardinals and how there was just a murmur when he

322
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 4: would come up to the point, Yeah, you want to

323
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 4: talk about Aura. Man, that's big time steroids. That is

324
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 4: big time when we come back. You know, in Wes

325
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 4: Miller's introductory press conference he said I got goosebumps just

326
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 4: thinking about it. It's true he did say that five

327
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 4: plus years ago at this point. But this isn't about

328
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,479
Speaker 4: Wesley five. This isn't about Wes Miller. Tell you well

329
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 4: what I feel. I got goosebumps listening to Dalton Reisner today. Man,

330
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 4: that guy is ready to go. He's all in on

331
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 4: the Cincinnati Bengals. We will give you part of what

332
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 4: Dalton Reisner had to say when we come back. There

333
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 4: it is when we come back. Also, your phone calls

334
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 4: five to one, three seven four nine, fifteen thirty. Again

335
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,959
Speaker 4: seven four, seven four nine, fifteen thirty since he three

336
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 4: to sixty on the Home of the Bengals ESPN fifteen

337
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 4: thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

338
00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 7: Hey Google, Well, I said that could not be done.

339
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 8: Winning the first three races on the NASCAR season.

340
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 3: No one has ever done it. Nine tens nineteen forty nine.

341
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 3: It happens today. Three peat for Tyler Reddick. How twenty

342
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 3: three eleven entire that's pretty cool.

343
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 2: You know what I was thinking about as I was

344
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 2: watching that and watching the post race celebration, Austin, how

345
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,239
Speaker 2: cool would it be to be like on just that

346
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 2: pit crew and the race engine. You've got Michael Jordan's

347
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: out like chefs bumping in high five and you after

348
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 2: a race. It's gotta be so cool. That's such a cool,

349
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 2: cool thing. Congrats to Tyler Reddick has done something that

350
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 2: no one else has ever done in the sport of NASCAR,

351
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 2: and he has started the year by winning three straight races.

352
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 2: Good for him. That's our call today, available to you

353
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 2: for sponsorship, yes, so just put that out there, as

354
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 2: is about everything else. Our podcast can be found on

355
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app. Also on the iHeartRadio app, you can

00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 2: get on there. You can leave us a talk back

357
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 2: by hitting the microphone, or just set us as one

358
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 2: of your preset favorites. That all helps, and eventually we'll

359
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 2: sell the podcast as well, maybe Dalton Reisner. Again, this

360
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 2: was one of those moves, Austin that I think a

361
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 2: lot of people felt like could be characterized as a layup. Yeah,

362
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: it's not a move that I think shocked people. It's

363
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 2: not a move that I think immediately puts them into

364
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,479
Speaker 2: front runner in the AFC North. But it was a

365
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 2: move that felt like it had to be done. It

366
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 2: felt like, again, it was a layup, and you're not

367
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 2: going to you know, joked earlier like Duke Tobin just

368
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 2: see in twenty twenty seven.

369
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 3: Your work is done.

370
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 2: But it's a move that I think the most important

371
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 2: part of get it done, get it out of the way,

372
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 2: move onto the next thing. And that's what the Bengals

373
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 2: were able to do. Their offensive line is in place again.

374
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 2: Maybe they add to it in a different way in

375
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 2: this upcoming draft or offseason, but they know who they

376
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 2: are up front. Scott Peters knows the guys that he's

377
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 2: going to have protecting Joe Burrow. Dalton Reisner talked a

378
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 2: lot about Joe Burrow's impact, a lot about Ted Karris

379
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 2: and others. But today, March second, you don't really have

380
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 2: to put much worry in the offensive line. And when's

381
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: the last time we've been able to do that.

382
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 4: Austin, right, hasn't happened since Zach Taylor's been the head coach, right.

383
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 4: I don't know if you saw the post from Paul

384
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 4: Dayner Junior. It's the first time the Bengals have brought

385
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 4: back the predominant five starting offensive lineman from one year

386
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 4: to the next since Zach Taylor has been here, and

387
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 4: even more so since Joe Burrow has been here. And

388
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 4: for all those guys to I think collectively have the

389
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 4: efficiency in the past block numbers, The consistency when they

390
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 4: were on the field together wasn't always the case. I mean,

391
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 4: there was a Riisner in Rivers debate at one point.

392
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 4: There was a little bit banged up. Yeah, Lucas Patrick

393
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 4: was involved. But when those five were together, it really

394
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 4: really worked. And you know, Reisner talked earlier today about

395
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 4: like he got benched after the Jags game, but he

396
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 4: was able to kind of relax and get settled in Cincinnati,

397
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 4: and once he did, it kind of clicked for him.

398
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 4: And it just made me think, you know, he seems

399
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 4: like the type of guy who when he's settled in

400
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 4: a place, he becomes a better football player when there's

401
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 4: not distractions going on with you know, worrying about his

402
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 4: wife or his family or his housing situation or any

403
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 4: of that stuff off the field. When you know, okay,

404
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 4: all that stuff is in order, then I can come

405
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 4: out here and perform at my very best, kind of

406
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 4: like we talked about with those NFLPA report cards.

407
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 2: Yep, it's a job well done. It's a win today

408
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 2: for the Cincinnati Bengals. We have some Dalton Reisner audio

409
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 2: that we can play.

410
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 3: We do.

411
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 4: This is the first four minutes and fifty nine seconds

412
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 4: of the press conference.

413
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 3: I thought it was really good.

414
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 4: It starts with Zach Taylor introducing Dalton Reisner and then

415
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 4: immediately gets into Reisner with the Bengals media back.

416
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 9: In the fold.

417
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 10: Reintroduce him. You know, Dalton is a critical part of

418
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 10: our team, critical part of our offensive line, a guy

419
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 10: that showed up a week before the season started the

420
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 10: first game, played over half of that game and continue

421
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 10: to play at a high level all season for us

422
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 10: to give us a ton of confidence in our offensive

423
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 10: line playing. So Dalton's just got not only as a

424
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 10: high talent level, but a wealth of experience. Brings a

425
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 10: lot of veteran leadership to our team and our offense.

426
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 10: And we're really happy to have him and his wife,

427
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 10: Whitney back in the fold and happy to welcome another

428
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 10: big aid of mom back into the building, Dalton Raiser,

429
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 10: I let you take him here.

430
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 6: I appreciate you, Coach, Thank you. I stoked to be here. Guys,

431
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 6: what what was the process like for you this summer?

432
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 6: Good to see you, Bro.

433
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 11: Appreciate all your belief all year, all the really great

434
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 11: things that you said about me. Man, it really means

435
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 11: a lot to me, Bro, So really good.

436
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 6: To see you again. Also really grateful for my head

437

Speaker 6: coach here.

438
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 11: A big reason why I wanted to come back to

439
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 11: Cincinnati is because of Zach Taylor, and I'm probably gonna

440
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 11: say a lot today that has nothing to do with

441
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 11: the questions that you asked, But I just feel like

442
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 11: I'm full of gratitude coming back and being with Scott Peters.

443
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 6: Just got to give Orlando Brown a hug. Was on

444
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 6: the phone last night with Mems.

445
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 11: I've talked to Ted, I've talked to Joe, just so

446
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 11: many people, including the fan base, including.

447
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 6: All of you guys, the city, the restaurant, Jeff Ruby's.

448
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 11: I mean, I could go on and on about every

449
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 11: reason why I wanted to come back and how you

450
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 11: guys have welcomed me.

451
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 6: And my wife with open arms. But we've known.

452
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 11: About this deal for like the last forty eight hours

453
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 11: and it's been one of the hardest secrets to keep ever.

454
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 11: So my little Adam Schefter back there got to break

455
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 11: the news this morning, which I thought was pretty exciting.

456
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 11: As you get later in your career, I feel like

457
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 11: you try to have some fun with this because you

458
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 11: never know when it's going to be.

459
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 6: The last year.

460
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:12,479
Speaker 11: So yeah, I'm just super overwhelmed man, with gratitude and

461
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 11: thankfulness to come back here, especially with the ups and

462
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 11: downs of last season.

463
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 6: And I think I just answered everything. But your question,

464
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 6: what did you ask me?

465
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 3: How much?

466
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 6: What was this process like this time around?

467
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,959
Speaker 3: I know, yeah, to get this done early, and how

468
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 3: much was that a factor in all this?

469
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 6: I think it was a huge factor, truth be told.

470
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 6: And I think I'm I.

471
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 11: Can say this because it's after the season. I told

472
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 11: everyone this is where I wanted to be, so when

473
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 11: it came to this process, of course, it did take

474
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 11: a little bit of time. The Bengals and myself, I

475
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 11: think were proactive in getting this deal done ever since

476
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 11: the season ended, But it got to a point for

477
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 11: me where I started putting prushure from the agent. I

478
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 11: got one of the best agents in the world and

479
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 11: Drew Rosenhouse. But I truly didn't mean what I said.

480
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 11: I didn't really care to hit free agency and see

481
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 11: if someone wanted to sign me to a two or

482
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 11: three year deal or maybe pay me more cash per year.

483
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 11: I wanted to Cincinnati Bengal, and it got to a

484
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 11: point where we were so close in terms that it was.

485
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 6: Time to get a deal done.

486
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 11: So the Bengals did a lot of compromising, and I

487
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 11: did a lot of compromising, and we came to a

488
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 11: middle point, into a middle ground to sign the deal.

489
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 11: And I was so thankful for that. I got to

490
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 11: give Duke Tobin a hug today, Mike Brown, Katie, I mean,

491
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 11: on and on Steven, so many people upstairs that I'm

492
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 11: thankful for.

493
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,360
Speaker 6: But this process was just so much.

494
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 11: Different because I've never felt this way about an organization.

495
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 11: I've never truly just wanted to be back and not

496
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 11: even test my market. I'm at the point in my

497
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 11: career where this is where I'm going to be my

498
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 11: best with Scott Peters and Joe Burrow and Ted Carris

499
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 11: and a Marius Mems and I didn't really care about

500
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 11: the logistics side of it.

501
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 3: This is where I wanted to be. What was about

502
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 3: this offensive line room that just fit you? Like, you

503
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 3: guys seem to have such great chemistry together.

504
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 6: What is it that why you came in and it

505
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 6: was such a good connection. Yeah, it's a great question.

506
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 11: I truly feel like I've never been seen or valued

507
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 11: like I have here, and I think that that started

508
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 11: in the offensive line room, and that started with Ted Carris.

509
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 11: Ted Carris is Cincinnati Bengals through and through.

510
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 6: I you know, it's crazy.

511
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 11: I've never been a guy to look up to very

512
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 11: many people, and I've truly always just said, like Jesus

513
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 11: is like the only person I've ever like truly looked

514
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 11: up to.

515
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 6: But I look up to Ted in a lot of ways.

516
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 11: And I remember after my very first game, he had

517
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 11: like this crazy quote that he gave to Dan and

518
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 11: I even loved it so much.

519
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 6: I had Dan send it to me and it saved

520
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 6: in my phone and was talking about I don't know, Dan,

521
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 6: do you remember it.

522
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was the most greatest example of professionalism ever displayed.

523
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 6: And you guys know, Ted, he really fucked it up.

524
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 6: It was great.

525
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 11: But like I just think to your question that Ted

526
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 11: opened the door and put his arms wide open and

527
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 11: said like, like, we take you as you are, and

528
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 11: it just it made it to where I could just

529
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 11: come in here and be exactly who I was. And

530
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 11: then Orlando Brown, I think, was getting interviewed by one

531
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 11: of you and someone asked him about me, and he

532
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 11: just said, Oh, this guy's a dog like we need him.

533
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 6: He's gonna help us win games. And I think and

534
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 6: even I never met, I never.

535
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 11: Talked to these guys, and they're speaking so highly of me,

536
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 11: and they're the centerfolds of this football team. And I

537
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 11: don't know what I did to deserve that, but really

538
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 11: grateful that they did. And I think that because of

539
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 11: the way they opened their arms and accepted me, allowed

540
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 11: me to come in here and just focus on being

541
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 11: exactly who I was.

542
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 3: Man. And this goes on and on. I mean with

543
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 3: twenty plus minutes. Yeah, he talks for almost twenty five minutes.

544
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 2: This is awesome, but so much of that that it's

545
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 2: just a dude genuinely filled with gratitude, Yeah, and the appreciation.

546
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 2: He went into stories about questioning himself at times because

547
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 2: he never felt like the guy that was wanted in

548
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 2: free agency, and yet here he is, and you know

549
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:42,479
Speaker 2: he appreciates Cincinnati and appreciates the words and the kindness

550
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 2: that everyone has shown it to me, I think it's

551
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 2: signified everything right about this process and how good of

552
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 2: a fit that it just kind of made this feel

553
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 2: for the Bengals and for Dalton Reisner. They now have

554
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 2: their guy mentioned again, the camaraderie and the understanding of

555
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 2: each other on the offensive line. That's a great start

556
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 2: for a team for many years, so we've had to

557
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 2: wait until very deep in the offseason to figure out

558
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 2: what the offensive arm is gonna be. Even think back

559
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 2: to last year Austin, there's a reason why they had

560
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 2: to go get Dalton Reisner that late in the game

561
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 2: is because there were so many questions still on the

562
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 2: offensive line. You don't have that right now. That is

563
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 2: a huge, huge positive for this team to now shift

564
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 2: their focus onto what we know and that's the defensive

565
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 2: side of the ball. Yeah, we'll get into a mock

566
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 2: draft Monday, we'll talk more about the combine that was,

567
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 2: and we'll take some phone calls. Five one, three, seven, four, nine,

568
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 2: fifteen thirty. It all happens next on the home of

569
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 2: the Bengals, ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station and a

570
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 2: service of Skyline Chile.

571
00:28:50,840 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: Three sixty on ESPN fifteen thirty.

572
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 2: Welcome back since he three to sixty ESPN fifteen to thirty,

573
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Sports Station, of service of our friends at Skyline Chili.

574
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:09,959
Speaker 2: We take phone calls on this show. We also take

575
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 2: tweets on this show. We sure do from time to time.

576
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 4: And we got a tweet over the break from our

577
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 4: guy Ian in Fort Thomas, and I think he brings

578
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 4: up a good point, probably something a lot of Bengals

579
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 4: fans are wondering. Reisner is coming back, and Ian says

580
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 4: he's glad about that, but why not sign him to

581
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 4: a two or three year deal, especially at this price,

582
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 4: because we'll be going through the exact same thing after

583
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 4: this season with him.

584
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 3: Tone your thoughts on what Ian says.

585
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 2: Uh one, Dalton Roisner's thirty. He'll be thirty one in July.

586
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 2: We know how the Bengals feel about age when it

587
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 2: comes to players at their position.

588
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 3: Two. I think this.

589
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 2: Is more about how many needs they have on defense

590
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 2: and not the long term. I think there still may

591
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 2: be a better long term fix out there at at

592
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 2: guard or maybe even a tackle that can slide into guard.

593
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 2: I do think that is still out there.

594
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 3: For me.

595
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 2: Dalton Reisner fills the need that this team has right now,

596
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 2: which is can't put a ton into the offensive line

597
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 2: right now. There's a lot going on around the offensive

598
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 2: line that this team needs to fulfill if they want

599
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 2: to get back to being a championship contender. So get

600
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 2: this done. I still think as the future happens, that's

601
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 2: going to be someone different than Dalton Reisner. But knowing

602
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 2: you have that going into the twenty twenty six season,

603
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 2: is I think exactly what the Bengals needed.

604
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would have liked to have seen a two

605
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 4: year deal just because they have a ton of cap

606
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 4: space next year, and obviously they have decision that still

607
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 4: need to be made that will factor into next year

608
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 4: for sure, but this I think could have been one

609
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 4: of them, especially if there's something in the contract that dictatay,

610
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 4: if you do this this year, then you've got a

611
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 4: raise next year, You've got this bonus at this point

612
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 4: and blah blah blah. I feel like there could have

613
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 4: been a little bit more creativity just to give you

614
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 4: some stability, because I don't want to be having this

615
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 4: conversation again in the offseason, but we will be. At

616
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 4: least it seemed that way, unless their plan is to

617
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 4: kind of treat Dalton Reisner like they have with Ted Carris,

618
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 4: which is just one year extension, one year extension, one

619
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 4: year extension, and play it by ear. But I feel

620
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 4: like that's a slippery slope. That's a dangerous game to play.

621
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 4: And with all the space you had next year, I

622
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 4: out of like to have seen a two year deal.

623
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 4: It's not like Reisner was good last year. It's not

624
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 4: like he was Anthony Munos here was a sixty nine

625
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 4: pff Yeah, and that's fine. I mean, he works well

626
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 4: with the guys around him, and I think there's a

627
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 4: space for him to continue to go. I think three

628
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 4: years would have been too long. You mitched in the age,

629
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 4: but it would have felt like two would have been

630
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 4: the sweet spot there.

631
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 3: But nonetheless it didn't.

632
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 4: And if the offensive line, you should always be looking

633
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 4: to upgrade, you should always be looking at the position.

634
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 4: So in that sense, I don't think it's a bad thing,

635
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 4: but you know, and.

636
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 2: Let's say, if you're Dalton Reisner, go play your tail

637
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 2: off again and it sets you up to get paid again.

638
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 3: It's a good point.

639
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I think on Reisner's side it makes sense

640
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 2: as well as the Bengals side.

641
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 4: And there's nothing that says, you know, let's say we

642
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 4: get through this year and we're halfway through the year

643
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 4: and the dude's been unreal and he's correct a probably

644
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 4: visitor player, and you can say, hey, hey, Dalld, we

645
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 4: want to reup you for next year right now. We'll

646
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 4: give you a two and a half million dollar raise.

647
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 4: We'll get you at seven and a half next year.

648
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 4: We can take that up to eight. If you play well,

649
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 4: you'd take that up to eight and a half. You

650
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 4: play well again next year, that's possible.

651
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there can be room for a little

652
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 2: bit of wiggle room there. But thanks, thanks for your tweet.

653

Speaker 2: We we love that people should tweet at us. More,

Speaker 2: can leave talkbacks.

656
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 4: Tony underscore Pike fifteen at audiomore. I often will get

657
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 4: tweeted at and people will just tag at Tony Pike fifteen. Yeah,

Speaker 4: and that's not your current account, that's you're old account.

659
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:02,360

00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 4: We've gone through and looked at some of those old

Speaker 9: Cardinals game at Bush, which you'll enjoy that, whether it's

676
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 9: the twenty nine dollars deal or not. What what what

677
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 9: happens with that deal? When the Cardinals are in first place?

678
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 5: When I say that, they've got to keep it in place.

679
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 3: Now, you can't just take it away. They better not

680
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 3: be I'll be furious if the Cardinals.

681
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 2: Are, oh my gosh, Cardinals and Brewers at atop the

682
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 2: NL Central, Oh my goodness.

00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 9: Wouldn't you just crap? I would just crap myself that happen,

684
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 9: and I doubt it, but you know we've seen stupid or.

685
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 3: Stuff happen without a doubt, but.

686
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 9: Either way, often you've got a winner. Even if they

687
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 9: did can the twenty nine bucks, you could still go

688
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 9: there with that much more hatred in your heart. Sure

689
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 9: where your red here and just start saying, come on,

Speaker 9: get goodness. Hey ya, those Florida Gators just keep putting

693
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 9: money in my pocket.

694
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Florida is a national championship contender.

695
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:50,280
Speaker 3: Again.

696
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 2: Uh, you got coaches going at each other during the game,

697
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 2: which which I think is tough when you're when when

698
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 2: you're Arkansas and you're getting beat by that much, it's

699
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 2: hard to fight on sidelines as well.

700
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 3: But Florida.

701
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 2: You want to talk about a team that has progressively

702
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 2: gotten better and playing right at the right time, that's

703
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 2: the Gators right now.

704
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 9: They got that kid out of Princeton that uh, I

705
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 9: forget his name, that that guy comes in off the

706
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 9: bench that you know, he's only eighteen or nineteen years old.

707
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 9: Team he's there, six man, Well, he's he's having a

708
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 9: heck of the year. I can't believe. I can't remember

709
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 9: his name. Have you seen Florida play Austin.

710
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 3: I haven't really paid close. It just became March.

711
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 2: So Austin's just now getting back in the college basketball

712
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 2: swaying close attention to the teams outside of this area,

713
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 2: to be honest.

714
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 9: Yeah, well when you you'll see him eventually you're in

715
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 9: the tournament. There were there were really something special. What

716
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 9: was your favorite game of the weekend Ton and the

717
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:44,240
Speaker 9: college hoops?

718
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 5: I mean I I enjoyed and this is obviously you

719
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:51,720
Speaker 5: see this is a little bit slighted.

720
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 9: You know.

721
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,439
Speaker 2: I actually enjoyed, Mike that I got to to watch

722
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 2: a UC game and not stressed. That was a fun,

723
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 2: fun Saturday. I thought to me watching what Texas Tech

724
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 2: did to Iowa State, because Texas Tech loses JT. Topping,

725
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 2: one of the best, if not the best player in

726
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 2: college basketball, and everyone just kind of assumes, well, their

727
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 2: season's gonna fall apart, nothing's gonna nothing's gonna go their way.

728
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 2: They're done. Since then they're three and oher. One of

729
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 2: those three wins is at number four Iowa State.

730
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 3: I am.

731
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 2: I have so much for respect what Texas Tech has

732
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 2: done in losing one of their premier players. Or their

733
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 2: premier player, So I would say that stood out to me.

734
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, that is amazing that that Christian Anderson. He's so good,

735
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 9: he's his stock up in the.

736
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 2: N and they were able to win with him getting

737
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 2: in foul trouble and being on the bench early in

738
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,439
Speaker 2: the second half and they still extended the lead, which

739
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 2: I thought was impressive.

740
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 9: Yeah, that Mcastle and the heck of the coach. Yeah,

741
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 9: he's a really good coach. Evidently there's the proofs in

742
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 9: the putting. Did you up? So the March madness in

743
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 9: the baseball Oh, regular seasons right around the corner in springtime,

744
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 9: so it's always a good time of the year. I

745
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 9: think I'm it. I think everybody enjoyed it after a

746
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 9: long winter. You guys have sports two days though on

747
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,399
Speaker 9: Thursday Friday. You'll miss the early games that well, you'll

748
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 9: have them probably on TV there, but you'll miss the

749
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 9: noon games on Thursday and Friday.

750
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 2: Austin, I believe, Austin. We're both off on the Friday,

751
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 2: aren't we. That's correct, We're both off on that Friday,

752
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 2: so we'll miss Thursday and less uh and less. Kentucky

753
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 2: basketball has an earlier game than we would probably get.

754
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 3: Bumped for that. But we'll be here Thursday to start

755
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:26,280
Speaker 3: the tournament.

756
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, but still you'll be there. You'll be able

757
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 9: to be on Friday. Yes, I'm happy for you guys

758
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 9: about okay, And you know what, I started picking up.

759
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 9: I didn't know if I could do it, but I started.

760
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 9: I know, you got to go. I started picking up,

761
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 9: uh for the first time to those Dodgers spring training games,

762
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 9: and I just realized they got four left handed power

763
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 9: hitters and three and three or four left handed power

764
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,280
Speaker 9: The only guy that's not a power hitter is Tommy

765
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 9: Edmund and he's not even going to start. And then

766
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 9: they got this rookie short stuff nam Johnny Gonzalez, who

767
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 9: they think is going to start, and then Lukia guests

768
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 9: play secondent. Well you call him. I guess you can't

769
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 9: really qualify Mookie as a power hitter, but he's good

770
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 9: for twenty right, Yeah, he would.

771
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 3: Be a power hitter on the Reds.

772
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 2: We would qualify him that right away.

773
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 9: Well, the Reds are gonna have a good year. I

774
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 9: know that we're gonna win that division.

775
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 2: Thanks guys, Thanks Mike, I have a good one, you know,

776
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 2: I uh, I look, did you see the video. I

777
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 2: believe it was in Japan of Otani just doing batting practice.

778
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 2: I did not, and that the stadium was full just

779
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 2: for his batting practice. Yeah, like that. The follow of that,

780
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 2: and we'll get into more baseball and hour three, but

781
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 2: the World Baseball Classic, we'll talk about that. Getting ready

782
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 2: to get underway March madness, uh NFL.

783
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 3: It's such a good time of the year.

784
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 2: Let's kind of put a rap on the combine to

785
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 2: wrap up our number one, and we'll start our two

786
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 2: with a little mock draft Monday.

787
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 3: Just ahead.

00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 2: Since he three sixty ESBN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

789
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 2: Welcome back, since he three to sixty ESPN fifteen thirty

790
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,280
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Sports Station, thanks to Skyline Chili.

791
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:09,959
Speaker 3: I had another one here Austin.

792
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 2: From x A question over the break, okay, from our

793
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 2: friend Kentucky dude.

794
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 3: Kentucky dude.

795
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 2: As we stand today March second, which squad is more

796
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,240
Speaker 2: prepared for a playoff run the Reds of the Bengals. Now,

797
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 2: I think at first you would be like, oh, the Bengals,

798
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 2: But I think that the preface here is today not

799
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 2: knowing what the Bengals are going to do. The rest

800
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 2: of the offseason as the Bengals roster currently sits or

801
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 2: the Reds roster. The Reds their roster is a finished

802
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 2: product at this point. The Bengals is far from it.

803
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,879
Speaker 2: Which of those two would you say is more set

804
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 2: up right now for a playoff run?

805
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 3: For a playoff run, I'll say the Reds. I still

806
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 3: think it's the Bengals.

807
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 4: I don't fully believe in the Reds, yeah, just because

808
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 4: I need to see the offense actually show up. But

809
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 4: I do think they're in a better spot right now

810
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 4: than the Bengals are.

811
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll still say the Bengals because as we sit

812
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:14,839
Speaker 2: here today, we know the answers on the offense, and

813
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 2: I know that you could still get you know, nitpicky

814
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 2: and say, well what about wide receiver three? And I

815
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 2: do think that's going to be addressed. But you know

816
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 2: what the core of the Bengals offense is going to be.

817
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 2: They have to do something defensively. We don't know what

818
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 2: that is yet. But look, the Cubs have done a

819
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 2: lot of good things in the NL Central this offseason.

820
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 2: You know where the Brewers are going to be. The

821
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Pirates have had a great offseason I don't know yet.

822
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 2: When it comes to the Cincinnati Reds, I don't know

823
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 2: what their place is in the National League. If it's

824
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 2: not the NL Central. You've got the Braves, the Mets,

825
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 2: the Phillies, the Nationals have got a lot of young

826
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 2: talent on that team, the Giants, Padres, Dodgers, Diamondbacks. Are

827
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 2: the Reds as built today, a wild card team out

828
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 2: of that group from the NL West and the ENA East.

829
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 4: No, I think they're gonna win the NL Central if

830
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,359
Speaker 4: they're gonna go to the playoffs there, Okay, it's to

831
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 4: me a playoff run is being able to win in

832
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 4: the playoffs. I think they can win that division, ok

833
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 4: I really do.

834
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 2: Do you think that they have a better chance right

835
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 2: now to win their division of the Bengals?

836
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 4: I would say the Reds. Okay, we let us not

837
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 4: forget because it's been a couple of months. The Bengals

838
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 4: defense is horrible. They are, I mean, ungodly, unfathomably bad.

839
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 4: And as of now, do you know someone's still employed

840
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 4: by the Bengals, So I mean that's gonna end here

841
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 4: in like seven days or so. But like maybe that's

842
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 4: your starting quarter, that's your starting safety at the moment. Yeah,

843
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 4: Trey Henderson is not gonna be on this team by

844
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 4: four o'clock tomorrow or whatever. It is so like they're

845
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 4: just so far away defensively, I can't It's more about

846
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 4: the Bengals and less about the Reds. The Cubs have

847
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 4: spent a lot of money, but I still don't know

848
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 4: if they have as much talent as the Reds. Milwaukee

849
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 4: is always going to be difficult, and gosh, the way

850
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 4: they lit up Hunter Green makes me wonder if there's

851
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 4: an issue with Hunter. I think with Milwaukee he might

852
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 4: be because they just destroy him. But yeah, I look

853
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 4: at the rest of that division, like Pittsburgh, Yeah they're better.

854
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 4: I don't know that there's any team with top to

855
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 4: bottom in that division more talent than the Reds. But

856
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:38,839
Speaker 4: talent only takes you so far.

857
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I lean again just because the offensive side of

858
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 2: the ball the Bengals and I know they added Suarez,

859
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 2: and I still I need to see it more offensively

860
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 2: for this Reds team for me to be a buyer

861
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 2: and a believer into what they're going to do. We'll

862
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 2: talk Reds in our number three. What they did over

863
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 2: the weekend. Has there been a team in spring training

864
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,839
Speaker 2: to this point that has dominated the ABS system more than.

865
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 3: The Reds No.

866
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 4: Going into yesterday, ushing it they were by far the

867
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 4: best in Major League Baseball. Crushing it with a plus

868
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 4: seven plus seven challenge results when you know what I mean.

869
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,959
Speaker 2: Yep, that's called winning. That's what they're doing right now.

870
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 2: Here's what we're gonna do. We'll take a break, we'll

871
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 2: come back. We're gonna dive into mock draft.

872
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 3: Money.

873
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 2: Let's play it a little bit differently because it's our

874
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 2: first mock draft Monday, post combine. So what we'll do, Austin,

875

900
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 2: You know someone's gonna do it. And I think Orlowski

901
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 2: already tried to plant the seed with watching the tape.

902
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,280
Speaker 2: Who's gonna be the first one to do it? Who's

903
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 2: gonna say it's not gonna be him? I don't think

904
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 2: anybody's got the guts. The Jets take David Bailey, the

905
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,640

912
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, just traded for a.

913
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 2: Right to be but they can move him around, It says,

914
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 2: I think he's athletic enough to move around.

915
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,399
Speaker 4: I think the Browns trading for a right tackle today

916
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 4: tells me they're going.

917
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:06,759

00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 2: Number eight to the New Orleans Saints goes Jeremiah Love.

921
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 3: Jeremiah Love.

922
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 2: Hewett dan Orlowsky said of Jeremiah Love, he is the

923
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 2: best player in this year's draft.

924
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 3: Okay, do what you want with that number nine.

925
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 2: The Kansas City Chiefs help Patrick Mahomes and they go

926
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 2: get Carnell Tate Man, I'm surprised after the combiny.

927
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 3: Have this wasn't Jeff Caldwell.

928
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 4: Did you see while he was running Brandon Bean the

929
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,720
Speaker 4: GM of the Bills was in the booth and was like, gosh,

930
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 4: this guy's slow. You guys, nobody should take this dude right. So,

931
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,919
Speaker 4: so that means that the corners are there. Corners are there,

932
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 4: That means Sonny Styles is Therenny Styles is there. That

933
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 4: would mean like the d interior d Lineman, like Peter

934
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:11,839
Speaker 4: Woods and Caleb Banks and those guys who people.

935
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 3: Got weirded out by him staring at people.

936
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 4: It would be my guy TJ. Parker is available. Maybe

937
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 4: even Dylan Thieneman, who has been rising up draft boards.

938
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,359
Speaker 2: Well, according to Bucky Brooks, all right, what's Bucky got

939
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 2: for me? The Cincinnati Bengals select edge rusher Keldrick Falk

940
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 2: Dear Jesus. Despite his unrefined game as a pass rusher,

941
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 2: Fault could be in play for the Bengals due to

942
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 2: the disruptive potential on the edge. A rugged run defender

943
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 2: with explosive strength and power, the Auburn product could thrive

944
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 2: as a base end. In Al Goldenstein tea, we don't

945
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 2: need Shamar Stewart, we got Shamar Stewart. I legit thought

946
00:47:54,120 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 2: I was reading a from Mar Stewart profile. Listen, Keldrick

947
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 2: Falk is not the way.

948
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 4: In my opinion, I feel bad for Keldrick Falk because

949
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 4: he's already in the crosshairs of the most hated Bengal

950
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 4: potential Bengal draft pick. Like Bengals fans are just beseeching

951
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,439
Speaker 4: this man's name at every possible chance because they felt

952
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 4: like they got burned by a similar prospect.

953
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 3: Well, you know what's gonna happen.

954
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 2: They're gonna look at twenty twenty five and see that

955
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 2: at Auburn Kendrick Falk had two sacks. Oh, and they're

956
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 2: gonna say, wait a second, that's what more than me?

957
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:32,880
Speaker 2: Wait a second, didn't we just fall for this? Didn't

958
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 2: we just have this issue? By the way, one of

959
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 2: those sacks was against Baylor. He registered one tackle against

960
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 2: ball State, he registered three tackles against South Alabama, and

961
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:49,840
Speaker 2: he had his second sack against Oklahoma. He did not

962
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 2: register a sack from September twenty seventh to November twenty ninth.

963
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 3: Freak.

964
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 4: So basically the entire season six to six, two eighty

965
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 4: five Yeah moves Well, yeah, of course, just a I

966
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 4: mean explosive, explosive player. The reason why guys like this

967
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:14,879
Speaker 4: are mocked to the Bengals is because they have made

968
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:18,720
Speaker 4: these types of picks in the past, Miles Murphy, Shamar Stewart,

969
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:24,319
Speaker 4: Karl Lawson, et cetera. Traits over production. So that's why

970
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 4: it happens, because the Bengals have a history of doing this.

971
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 4: But I don't think that they can go into this

972
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 4: particular draft with that mindset.

973
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 3: I agree.

974
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 4: That, especially if you know that you're not going to

975
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 4: have Trey Hendrickson. I mean, the Miles Murphy pick and

976
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 4: the Shamar Stewart pick were made with the idea of, Okay,

977
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 4: we still have Trey, these guys will be ready for

978
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,360
Speaker 4: when he leaves. Now you don't have that guy, you

979
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 4: don't have that buffer. And I don't think they've made

980
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 4: up their mind fully on Miles Murphy. So I think

981
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,280
Speaker 4: that in and of itself, the way that your roster

982
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:08,399
Speaker 4: is currently constructed should change the way you view your

983
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,880
Speaker 4: philosophy in the draft, and I hope it does. I

984
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 4: also hope the fact that those two guys didn't work out. Yeah,

985
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 4: I mean Murphy it took forever and Shamar Stewart unlucky.

986
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 4: And again I'm a believer in Shamar Stewart, but like

987
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 4: you don't have that kind of time.

988
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I.

989
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 2: Just go back again to what we've talked about since

990
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 2: the Shamar Stewart draft, and that is the analytics or

991
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 2: the numbers versus the actual production on the field. And

992
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:43,479
Speaker 2: say what you want about how well he moves, say

993
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,760
Speaker 2: what you want about how fast he is, and anything

994
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 2: else that he was able to do. I just can

995
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 2: you really go in and say we're going to get

996
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 2: a project? I mean, he ran a four to seven,

997
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 2: he's considered a top tier edge rusher, he's projected a

998
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:03,360
Speaker 2: good starter, thirty five inch vertical almost a ten foot

999
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 2: broad jump. Wingspan was the largest among edge rushers. You

1000
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,840
Speaker 2: don't have to worry about the wingspan. But can you

1001
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:13,439
Speaker 2: really go in on a guy and sell another guy

1002
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 2: that had two sacks last year? No, you can't, and

1003
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 2: he's close. Look, the pressure should be honest. It shouldn't

1004
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 2: be about selling. It should be about producing.

1005
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 4: I don't honestly, I don't care, and Duke Tobin shouldn't care,

1006
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 4: and Zach Taylor shouldn't care what the fan base thinks

1007
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 4: about a draft pick. And you shouldn't have to sell

1008
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 4: it to anybody. But it's about who can help us

1009
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:39,440
Speaker 4: win right now? Immediate production, and that's just not a

1010
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 4: player that can correct.

1011
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 3: They need day one starters. And we talked.

1012
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 2: John Cunningham used this day one ready, we've talked about those, right.

1013
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:52,839
Speaker 2: Sunny Styles is a Day one guy. Yeah, say what

1014
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 2: you want about Mansword Delaney is a Day one guy.

1015
00:51:55,560 --> 00:52:01,399
Speaker 2: Carnel Tait, Rubin, Bain, Caleb Downs, Rvel those are Day

1016
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:06,360
Speaker 2: one guys. To make your team better. Keltric Falk maybe

1017
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 2: makes your team better. So, with all due respect, and

1018
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:13,799
Speaker 2: I mean all due respect to Bucky Brooks kick this

1019
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 2: mock draft.

1020
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,240
Speaker 4: I like Bucky Brooks, but today for my mock draft,

1021
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,879
Speaker 4: I went over to the USA today and I went

1022
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 4: over to our friend Nate Davis. Nate Davis did his

1023
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 4: post Combine mock draft and he, much like Bucky Brooks,

1024
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 4: has the same picks at one and two, Fernando Mendoza

1025
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 4: and David Bailey at number three. He's got the Arizona

1026
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:39,360
Speaker 4: Cardinals taking Rvel Reese out of Ohio State. At number four,

1027
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:45,720
Speaker 4: He's got Jeremiah Love to the Tennessee Titans at number five,

1028
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:49,879
Speaker 4: Sonny Styles to Ohio State or to the New York

1029
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 4: Giants from Ohio State. There's been a lot of talk

1030
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 4: about the Giants and Sunny Styles because of the way

1031
00:52:56,680 --> 00:53:00,760
Speaker 4: that John Harball defenses have been led by alpha dog

1032
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:04,360
Speaker 4: linebackers over the years, and maybe Sonny Styles could be

1033
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 4: that at number six. He's got Cleveland taking Francis Mauinoa

1034
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 4: at number seven. Washington selects Caleb Downs at number eight,

1035
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:18,879
Speaker 4: Carnel Tate to the New Orleans Saints. At number nine,

1036
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 4: the Chiefs replaced the guy they cut today, Juwan Taylor,

1037
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 4: was Spencer Fanu from Utah, which leaves at number ten

1038
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:35,280
Speaker 4: the Bengals taking Rubin Bain Junior out of Miami.

1039
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 3: Here's arms.

1040
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 4: Here's what Nate Davis writes about Rubin Bain. Much has

1041
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 4: been made about his short arms, but they didn't stop

1042
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 4: him from being extremely productive.

1043
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 3: Oh whoa whoa.

1044
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 4: Often against NFL caliber offensive tackles for the Caynes, Bain

1045
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 4: bowled his way to nine and a half sacks and

1046
00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 4: fifteen and a half TFLs last season. Was a minace

1047
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:04,799
Speaker 4: during the College Football Playoff. Cincinnati could certainly use his

1048
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 4: past rush help, especially with Hendrickson poise to depart in

1049
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 4: free agency. I also read today Paul Daanner Junior did

1050
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:15,880
Speaker 4: his winners and losers from the combine, and he said

1051
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 4: one of the winners was the odds for ruben bin

1052
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 4: being available at number ten because of how much is

1053
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:25,279
Speaker 4: being made about his quote unquote short arms. We talked

1054
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:28,239
Speaker 4: about this last week. This is the exact opposite end

1055
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:30,439
Speaker 4: of the spectrum we just talked about with Keldric Falk.

1056
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 4: Maybe the trait isn't there, Maybe that physical thing you

1057
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 4: look for isn't there. But Golli, the production just jumps

1058
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:38,800
Speaker 4: off the screen, jumps off the page.

1059
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 2: Yeah to me, like I go back and it would

1060
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 2: be exactly kind of the conversation we had about Duke

1061
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 2: Tobin last week. If you just take Keldrick Falk and

1062
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:55,280
Speaker 2: ruben Bain, isn't that encompassing the issues that the Bengals

1063
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 2: have had in recent years. Here's Keldric Falk, who you

1064
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 2: look at him, right, it's the looks like Tarzan plays.

1065
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 3: Like Jane, nicely done.

1066
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 2: Not a ton of production. But did the Bengals view

1067
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 2: as a guy that they can draft and develop and

1068
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 2: then just get the most out of his abilities because

1069
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 2: he's got the numbers that say he can be great?

1070
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:22,279
Speaker 2: Or do you look at a guy in ruben Bain

1071
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 2: and say ah, the measurables aren't great. It's a little concerning.

1072
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 2: But then you pop on the tape and you say, well,

1073
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 2: did his arms get shorter?

1074
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:31,359
Speaker 3: Right? Did?

1075
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 2: He used to have long arms and they got shorter,

1076
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 2: and now he can't play as well because the ruben

1077
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 2: Bain I watched throughout the college football Playoff is a

1078
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:43,160
Speaker 2: guy that I'd like to build my team around. He

1079
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 2: is a game wrecker. Ask Ohio State, Ask Fernando Mendoza.

1080
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:54,760
Speaker 2: He jumped off the page multiple times in watching those games.

1081
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:58,719
Speaker 2: So in just those two names we mentioned today that

1082
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:01,879
Speaker 2: I think is what's at Duke Tope. Here's a guy.

1083
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:06,320
Speaker 2: Numbers are good. Production wasn't there. Here's a guy. Production

1084
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 2: was great. The numbers don't show that with how he measured.

1085
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 2: Give me ten out of ten times the guy who

1086
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 2: has done it consistently when you turn the tape on.

1087
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:21,720
Speaker 4: You mentioned Keldrick Falk had what was it, one tackle

1088
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 4: against ball State. Meanwhile, Francis Malnoa was dominating against NFL

1089
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 4: caliber offensive lineman, was going up against a top fifteen

1090
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 4: pick in Francis Marinoa. Every day in practice I saw

1091
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 4: somebody say they're gonna issue They're going to request a

1092
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 4: freedom of information put request or whatever for the practice

1093
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 4: tape between Francis Maunoa and Rubin Bay every day and

1094
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 4: one on once, Like it just feels like, obviously, I

1095
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 4: don't know that if these two guys were available in

1096
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:56,799
Speaker 4: this situation that the Bengals would take Keldric Falk over

1097
00:56:56,880 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 4: Ruben bain right. But the point of the matter is

1098
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 4: you have to be able to get those dudes that

1099
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:09,400
Speaker 4: have done it against high quality competition, be willing to

1100
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:14,439
Speaker 4: compromise on something that you might see as a deal

1101
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 4: breaker when it comes to arm length or height or

1102
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 4: weight or whatever it might be, and say, okay, well,

1103
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 4: when you turn on the tape, this dude changes football games.

1104
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 4: And we need a dude that changes football games. And

1105
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:30,800
Speaker 4: again we talked about it last week. The Bengals have

1106
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 4: not been afraid to go after dudes with shorter arms.

1107
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 4: Trey Henderson is one of those guys, yeah, and hasn't

1108
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:40,919
Speaker 4: stopped him from being productive. So you just that would

1109
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 4: be a dream scenario.

1110
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 2: Like I don't think, But to me, like, I don't

1111
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 2: think it would be the case of like Baine's there

1112
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 2: and Faulks there and they take fulk. I think it

1113
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 2: would be the case kind of that played out. Rvel

1114
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:56,160
Speaker 2: Reese is gone, Sunny Styles has gone, Bain has gone,

1115
00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 2: anyone else that maybe you had as an optionate ten.

1116
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 2: Now at ten you say, okay, do we grab one

1117
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 2: of these corners? Do we reach and grab Falk? Or

1118
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 2: is that the point you say, let's just move back,

1119
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 2: because maybe Keldrick Falk at ten doesn't make sense. Maybe

1120
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:20,920
Speaker 2: he does make sense at fifteen, right twenty five, I

1121
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 2: want TJ. Parker over Keldrick Falk. But like, but that's

1122
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 2: the scenario, Like if it got to a point and

1123
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 2: it was baying verse Falk and they took Falk, Holy cow.

1124
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 5: What are we doing? Yeah, I mean if those guys

1125
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 5: are gone, I would have some things to say about that.

1126
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:38,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. Fascinating though.

1127
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 4: Now there's also this idea that Dylan Thieneman is just

1128
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 4: sky riding in the beginning the draft boards. Okay, I'm

1129
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 4: sure we'll have Joe Goodbary on again before the draft,

1130
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 4: and Joe's one of those people that's leading that charge.

1131
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 4: But I also wouldn't say, you know, it's it's out

1132
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 4: of the realm of possibility to address the safety position,

1133
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 4: even if Downs isn't there Okay. I think that's very

1134
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 4: much a real possibility. But over the next month, when

1135
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 4: you get into the start of April is when we'll

1136
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 4: start to get a little bit more clarity on these things. Also,

1137
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 4: I'm being talked into the idea of corner.

1138
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 3: Okay.

1139
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:20,040
Speaker 4: The more I read about these corners Mansword Delayne and

1140
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:25,320
Speaker 4: Jermad McCoy, primarily Delayne, I'm more and more open to

1141
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 4: that idea.

1142
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 3: Okay.

1143
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 5: I'm just putting that out there. I've reserved the right

1144
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,280
Speaker 5: to change my mind. What has changed your mind for that.

1145
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 4: I'm not saying it has been changed. I'm saying I'm

1146
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 4: more open to it because of this, because those two

1147
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 4: guys and Delaye specifically, the way that people talk about him,

1148
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 4: the people that the draft voices that I trust, the Bruglers,

1149
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 4: the Jeremiah's, the mcshay's, They talk about a dude that's

1150
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 4: a potential lockdown corner, okay, and we know what that

1151
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 4: brings to a defense Patrick'sertan for example, and and how

1152
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 4: that allows the freedom that allows the defensive coordinator to

1153
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 4: have when it comes to play calling.

1154
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm more open to that.

1155
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not saying I'm sold on it, but

1156
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:19,440
Speaker 4: I don't know, Like, I'm not going to go outside

1157
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 4: pay Court Stadium with a pitchfork if they draft a corner,

1158
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:25,120
Speaker 4: if they draft Keldric Falk, I will if they do

1159
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 4: it with a corner, Okay, that's a position you can

1160
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:29,200
Speaker 4: never have enough.

1161
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 3: Okay.

1162
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 2: Is there anything they can do between now and then

1163
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 2: on their own roster to push you away from that, to.

1164
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:46,120
Speaker 3: Push me away from being open those dudes are on

1165
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 3: the team, are by no one on the team or

1166
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 3: no extension would would change that.

1167
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, the extension would make me a little bit less

1168
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:55,600
Speaker 4: likely to do it because you're going to have those

1169
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 4: guys for years moving forward. If they don't get an

1170
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:01,720
Speaker 4: extension done before the draft, then I probably more in

1171
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 4: the idea in on the idea of taking a corner,

1172
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:08,680
Speaker 4: just because you don't know the future of those other two. Yeah,

1173
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:11,000
Speaker 4: if you want to, I guess, if you want to

1174
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 4: cool the temperature a little bit, it would be to

1175
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 4: sign an extension for one, if not both of those two. Yeah,

1176
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:23,360
Speaker 4: I'm just saying it's I don't think it's Keldric fallklevel bad.

1177
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 5: If they take a corner at ten, Okay, I would

1178
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 5: say that as well.

1179
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:33,960
Speaker 3: It's not that bad. Okay, all right, okay, let's uh.

1180
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 4: I just I keep here like people I trust keep

1181
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 4: talking about how good these guys are. So I'm like, okay, damn,

1182
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:42,600
Speaker 4: it's kind of like you guys are starting to make

1183
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 4: me think Jeremiah Love is okay, but that position just

1184
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 4: if the Bengals draft are running back, if they were

1185
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 4: to take Jeremiah Love.

1186
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, a different category. He might be a beast.

1187
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 4: But everything I just said earlier, Man, that defense stinky

1188
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:03,440
Speaker 4: pooh pooh, this is defense. I just have't been watching

1189
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 4: more stuff over the weekend. You know, got that defense

1190
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 4: is awful? Man, Yeah, it just gotta get fixed. Where

1191
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:14,360
Speaker 4: is gonna play de tackle too?

1192
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:18,480
Speaker 3: That's why he was so excited.

1193
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what really pissed me off is Duke

Speaker 5: guys as if oh.

01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:03,080
Speaker 3: He's a turner. Re up now to March twenty six.

1238
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:03,919
Speaker 3: I see you guys.

1239
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:07,960
Speaker 8: There go justice draft combine, movers and shakers.

1240
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 3: Strange.

1241
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:09,840
Speaker 8: I think some of these kids are gonna be almost

1242
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:11,440
Speaker 8: thirty by the time to get to the end of

1243
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:14,800
Speaker 8: the rookie deal. And sports quotes. I missed these last week.

1244
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:17,840
Speaker 8: Here some of my favorite Mama, there goes that name

1245
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 8: and yeah there. But because he's on a roll, and.

1246
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:26,520
Speaker 3: I like that he's say Dalton Wash repeat Risner. I

1247
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 3: like that. It's a bit of a stretch. I'll go

1248
01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:30,600
Speaker 3: with that. I'll allow a bit of a stretch. I'll

1249
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:31,160
Speaker 3: allow it.

1250
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:35,840
Speaker 16: I tell you why f Selmons ninety lost because I

1251
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 16: couldn't hear him on the radio. I usually bring him

1252
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:42,960
Speaker 16: pretty good luck when I'm listening on the radio. Fifteen

1253
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:49,840
Speaker 16: thirty had UK basketball on. That's Puke, thirteen sixty had

1254
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 16: the Red Scheme on. Seven hundred had regular programming on WBN,

1255
01:05:56,160 --> 01:06:00,360
Speaker 16: had like Iron Maid and playing. I couldn't listen to

1256
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:01,240
Speaker 16: him on the radio.

1257
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could listened on Friday, yep, and you listened

1258
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:09,120
Speaker 2: to Tommy g. You didn't know that was on the Project.

1259
01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:10,800
Speaker 3: One hundred point seven. What I was six to three,

1260
01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:13,480
Speaker 3: that's what it was on. You know.

1261
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:18,040
Speaker 17: Come on, Jim, Hello, this is former President Ronald rigging

1262
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 17: it the way. I must admit I freaked out when

1263
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:23,960
Speaker 17: I heard that Dalton signed with the Bengals for a

1264
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 17: one year, five million dollar contract. I mean, that just

1265
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:32,360
Speaker 17: seems like a lot for a backup quarterback like Handy Dalton.

1266
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:34,960
Speaker 17: But I guess you got to risk it if you

1267
01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:35,800
Speaker 17: want the biscuit.

1268
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 3: That's right. Welcome back, mister daltoniser.

1269
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:42,760
Speaker 7: Quick note for Bruce Pearl, Miami deserves to be in

1270
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 7: the term much more than your son's team does.

1271
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:47,320
Speaker 3: To just pipe down a little bit down there, please, Yep.

1272
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:49,640
Speaker 2: We're going to get to that in an hour three because

1273
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:51,680
Speaker 2: not only that, but now the what the president of

1274
01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 2: the ad from Miami's track.

1275
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:56,120
Speaker 3: I was like, if you saw that, oh, get to that.

1276
01:06:57,720 --> 01:07:02,120
Speaker 18: Stephen Montgomery. All right, Bengals, great job signing Riisner. Now

1277
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 18: get out there and get a swing tackle, defensive end,

1278
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 18: veteran linebacker, and that draft will be wide open.

1279
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, Tony off and shouting from ot healthy here.

1280
01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:16,080
Speaker 3: All right.

1281
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:18,840
Speaker 6: That's box number one checked off.

1282
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:24,080
Speaker 19: Boxes two, three, four, and five are gonna happen next week.

1283
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:29,320
Speaker 19: That's edge defensive tackle, linebacker, safety. It doesn't have to

1284
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:31,800
Speaker 19: be a big name, it doesn't have to be a splash.

1285
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 3: They just need to get a.

1286
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:36,440
Speaker 19: Good working player, middle of the road. Fill those positions

1287
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:39,040
Speaker 19: because then the jab the draft, we can just sit

1288
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:41,480
Speaker 19: back and relax and pick best player available.

1289
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:46,479
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, also got a start bench cut for both

1290
01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:47,640
Speaker 3: Tony and Austin.

1291
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:47,960
Speaker 9: Here.

1292
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:49,520
Speaker 6: This is the dream job.

1293
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:50,520
Speaker 3: Start bench cut.

1294
01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 19: So you get this job, you can never get fired

1295
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:55,640
Speaker 19: from it, but you can never get promoted from it.

1296
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:59,640
Speaker 19: You are this is the final sets start bench cut,

1297
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 19: head coach of the Miami RedHawks football program, offensive coordinator

1298
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:09,080
Speaker 19: of the uc Bearcats football program, or a quarterbacks coach

1299
01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:10,760
Speaker 19: of the Cincinnati Bengals.

1300
01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:12,200
Speaker 9: Start bench cut.

1301
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:15,280
Speaker 2: Well, what was the first one head coach of the

1302
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:19,200
Speaker 2: Miami RedHawks. I'll cut that one. Why no disrespect to Miami.

1303
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 2: I'm just sure seems that way. I will bench quarterback

1304
01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:25,760
Speaker 2: coach because eventually Burrow is going to be done. I'll

1305
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:28,280
Speaker 2: start being the head coach of the Cincinnati Bearcats because

1306
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:31,000
Speaker 2: I think I could build that and potentially turn it

1307
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:34,000
Speaker 2: into the type of job that used to be dreamt about.

1308
01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:37,559
Speaker 4: Well, if it's not possible to get promoted or fired,

1309
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:39,919
Speaker 4: I would look for the least amount of work possible.

1310
01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:44,479
Speaker 4: So I'm going to start quarterback coach, and it would

1311
01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:46,600
Speaker 4: be the head guy that would much rather be in

1312
01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:49,960
Speaker 4: the NFL than in any part of college football. I

1313
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:57,400
Speaker 4: will bench offensive coordinator, and then I will cut head coach.

1314
01:08:57,600 --> 01:08:59,639
Speaker 4: Too much responsibility. I don't want to deal with these

1315
01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:02,240
Speaker 4: in IL people. Sure, you know, people like Kyle Decker

1316
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:05,120
Speaker 4: blowing me up? Oh gosh, could you imagine? Could you imagine?

1317
01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:07,400
Speaker 20: Well, it's nice to see the Bengals make a layup

1318
01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:09,880
Speaker 20: for a change, yep. And it was really cool to

1319
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 20: hear him give the glowing review and want to be here. Hey,

1320
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 20: I'm just curious man. Last year when they were dragging

1321
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:19,599
Speaker 20: their feet to sign him. You kind of off handedly

1322
01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 20: mentioned that it might have been because he's a bad

1323
01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:26,360
Speaker 20: locker room guy. That interview kind of sounds like the opposite. Yeah,

1324
01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:30,040
Speaker 20: being contentious. I'm literally just curious what made you say that.

1325
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:34,439
Speaker 5: Well, I was trying to remember it was I think

1326
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:36,320
Speaker 5: when he was with the Broncos, he had like a

1327
01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 5: public skirmish with one of the quarterbacks there on the sideline, and.

1328
01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:42,160
Speaker 3: There were rumors of that.

1329
01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:45,160
Speaker 4: With when he was with Minnesota, he had played pretty

1330
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:48,800
Speaker 4: well for them and they just had no interest in.

1331
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:51,200
Speaker 3: Him whatsoever, and he kind of alluded to that. And so.

1332
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:54,280
Speaker 4: I don't know that I was ever like, this is

1333
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:57,439
Speaker 4: a bad guy and nobody wants him. But I think

1334
01:09:57,479 --> 01:10:00,800
Speaker 4: maybe there was just a rumor of his ability to

1335
01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 4: kind of, I don't know, fit in. And clearly this

1336
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:08,960
Speaker 4: doesn't seem like there's any issues whatsoever, and it doesn't

1337
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:11,200
Speaker 4: seem like and who knows, when you're a guy who

1338
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:13,280
Speaker 4: comes into the league, you might be a very different

1339
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 4: person than you are right now. So it's not like

1340
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:19,920
Speaker 4: you did anything overwhelmingly recent or a bunch of concrete events,

1341
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:21,160
Speaker 4: just like a rumor.

1342
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:24,240
Speaker 7: I think if I did another one of those stupid

1343
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 7: fastest thirty seconds in NASCAR talkbacks on Friday, Tyler Reddick

1344
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 7: probably would have lost the race because that's who I

1345
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:33,479
Speaker 7: was going to take shout out to aj Almendinger. Dude

1346
01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:35,240
Speaker 7: collapsed when he got out of the race car. Some

1347
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 7: of those guys' cool suits weren't working. Yeah, he's a warrior.

1348
01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:42,080
Speaker 7: He got back up. Sunny Styles. Probably not coming to

1349
01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:45,679
Speaker 7: the Bengals after that combine performance. Probably know Caleb Downs,

1350
01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:48,000
Speaker 7: Probably no Ruby Bain. I have no idea who they're

1351
01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:48,439
Speaker 7: going to pick.

1352
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:49,720
Speaker 3: I just hope they don't screw it up.

1353
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, yeah, man, it was hot as hell in

1354
01:10:54,360 --> 01:10:57,760
Speaker 5: Austin Tasks. It turned the heat up, mister.

1355
01:10:57,640 --> 01:10:59,719
Speaker 3: Elmore, this is seen.

1356
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:03,200
Speaker 13: Oh one hundred dollars bill, Since you didn't understand me

1357
01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:07,320
Speaker 13: on Friday, as far as my first talk back in

1358
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:09,679
Speaker 13: six months, it took me that long to figure it out,

1359
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:14,479
Speaker 13: all right. My second take was get rid of Hunter Green.

1360
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:19,160
Speaker 13: You said I was crazy. Yeah, you just said five

1361
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:22,439
Speaker 13: minutes ago you're worried about his pitch count and him.

1362
01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:26,160
Speaker 3: I didn't say I was worried about his pitch count. Hey,

1363
01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:27,360
Speaker 3: Tyler Mawley.

1364
01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:30,800
Speaker 4: I was, Yeah, that's Tyler Malley. I'm worried about Hunter

1365
01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:34,960
Speaker 4: Green against the Milwaukee Brewers. That's what I'm worried about,

1366
01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:38,920
Speaker 4: because they just always seemed to bash him in h

1367
01:11:39,400 --> 01:11:42,080
Speaker 4: and even Jeff Brantley was talking about it on the broadcast.

1368
01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:44,599
Speaker 4: He's like, I wonder if he has some sort of

1369
01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:48,559
Speaker 4: tell against the Brewers, because it feels like every time

1370
01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:51,400
Speaker 4: he plays against him.

1371
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:55,200
Speaker 3: They he just working on stuff. So let me just

1372
01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:56,599
Speaker 3: see if I pull this up right here.

1373
01:11:57,560 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 4: In his career, Hunter has started seven games against the

1374
01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:06,600
Speaker 4: Milwaukee Brewers. They are batting two forty four with a

1375
01:12:06,680 --> 01:12:09,799
Speaker 4: three forty four on base percentage, a five to sixty

1376
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 4: three slugging percentage against him. Yeah, a batting average on

1377
01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:18,479
Speaker 4: balls in play of two sixty seven against Hunter Green,

1378
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:27,839
Speaker 4: thirteen home runs in seven games, four doubles, and forty

1379
01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:32,439
Speaker 4: eight strikeouts over the course of a decent amount of innings.

1380
01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:35,680
Speaker 4: So there's some data there that says the Brewers are

1381
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:37,719
Speaker 4: really good. And then you look at Hunter against other teams.

1382
01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:38,800
Speaker 4: Nobody can touch it.

1383
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:42,120
Speaker 21: Right, Audi, your Keldric Falk joke had me rolling. I

1384
01:12:42,120 --> 01:12:45,000
Speaker 21: always love when Tony just blows right past those. Now

1385
01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:47,320
Speaker 21: I can't really tell if it's intentional to try to

1386
01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:49,759
Speaker 21: be professional, or if he's just totally clueless.

1387
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:51,720
Speaker 3: I don't think you heard it what I miss Yeah,

1388
01:12:51,720 --> 01:12:54,639
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say it again. It's bake.

1389
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:59,920
Speaker 12: I really like Devin Lloyd in the free agency market.

1390
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 12: Twenty million of your fifty five million in calf space

1391
01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:06,519
Speaker 12: for an alpha dog leader in the middle of your defense. Okay,

1392
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:09,600
Speaker 12: it'll make the rush that much battery. He's one of

1393
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:13,680
Speaker 12: the better blitzing linebackers in the NFL, and he's a

1394
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:19,040
Speaker 12: second team All Pro, proven commodity get downs as a

1395
01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:21,479
Speaker 12: first round draft pick or theeneman.

1396
01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:26,240
Speaker 2: Okay, see now as the combine ends, now you start

1397
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:27,760
Speaker 2: to get a little bit more science and in a

1398
01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:29,320
Speaker 2: little bit more info behind.

1399
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:29,360
Speaker 3: Some of this.

1400
01:13:29,680 --> 01:13:32,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I do think and I think even Paul

1401
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:35,320
Speaker 4: Dayner said this as well. He expects the Bengals to

1402
01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:37,720
Speaker 4: address linebacker early in free agency.

1403
01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:39,160
Speaker 3: That would be a.

1404
01:13:39,080 --> 01:13:41,680
Speaker 5: Perfect example of a guy that would be exactly what

1405
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:42,400
Speaker 5: you're looking for.

1406
01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:46,800
Speaker 22: I was born with short arms, folded by them. I

1407
01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:48,879
Speaker 22: didn't know it was an issue until I was already

1408
01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:54,120
Speaker 22: a man. Ye at the damn scouting COMBA, pick me Cincinnati,

1409
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:56,919
Speaker 22: They'll expect one of us in the wreckage.

1410
01:13:57,800 --> 01:14:00,599
Speaker 3: They expect one of us in the Wreckage Brother. It's

1411
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:01,840
Speaker 3: a great line. Yep.

1412
01:14:02,479 --> 01:14:04,639
Speaker 8: Man, I'm like you, guys, I know they're just knocks.

1413
01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:08,759
Speaker 8: But the Bengals take another nonproduction guy in the first round.

1414
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:11,880
Speaker 8: I think I'm going to absolutely lose it too. And

1415
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:15,160
Speaker 8: how they join you outside of pak the pitch work

1416
01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:16,080
Speaker 8: as well, they do that.

1417
01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:21,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean production doesn't always equal. You know, the

1418
01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:22,840
Speaker 4: NFL is really good. I mean, look what Pike did

1419
01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:24,960
Speaker 4: in college, Look what he did in the NFL. They

1420
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:29,360
Speaker 4: don't always equate. That was it nothing?

1421
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:29,920
Speaker 3: I thought you.

1422
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:32,599
Speaker 2: I thought you had something else to say A couple Yeah,

1423
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:36,639
Speaker 2: I mean you can't control what others do, right, blocking

1424
01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:38,240
Speaker 2: for control the controllables.

1425
01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:42,000
Speaker 5: You guys, remember when that clown called in a couple

1426
01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:44,680
Speaker 5: of years ago and started talking crap about Dave Lapham.

1427
01:14:44,880 --> 01:14:47,840
Speaker 5: There will be no Dave Lapham slander ever, Wow lap

1428
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:48,400
Speaker 5: Them forever.

1429
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:51,360
Speaker 3: Duke Tobin never. This guy doesn't forget. No.

1430
01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:53,519
Speaker 4: You remember that cat we had who was in line

1431
01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:57,040
Speaker 4: at Burger King. Oh my gosh, it was something about Pickles.

1432
01:14:57,280 --> 01:14:59,920
Speaker 4: I think about him a lot.

1433
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 3: It was like a one time appearance, wasn't he.

1434
01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:05,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, But I just think like what he was going

1435
01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:07,559
Speaker 2: like he making sure there wasn't pickles on the sandwich.

1436
01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:08,719
Speaker 3: Whopper whopper whopper.

1437
01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:11,640
Speaker 2: His wife was going to be upset, Yeah, with pickles,

1438
01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:14,760
Speaker 2: and then like we never heard back from him.

1439
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:16,799
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think about that often.

1440
01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:20,639
Speaker 23: Hey, guys, Jeff and Indy love the arrives their signing.

1441
01:15:21,240 --> 01:15:25,559
Speaker 23: Glad to get that out of the way. My Indiana Hoosiers, Tony,

1442
01:15:25,840 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 23: they're in adultrums. I'm in despair. I'm right there with

Speaker 23: you and Alten. We got your Buckeyes on Saturday. We'll

1444
01:15:32,280 --> 01:15:34,040
Speaker 23: still with the chance get in. This shows you how

1445
01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:36,800
Speaker 23: bad the NCAA tournament's gonna be when it goes to

1446
01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:40,040
Speaker 23: seventy six teams. Then we're talking about Indiana, Ohio State

1447
01:15:40,080 --> 01:15:42,400
Speaker 23: and U see getting in. They all stink the old

1448
01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:44,120
Speaker 23: say Bruce Thornton does deserve to get in.

1449
01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:44,439
Speaker 3: Often.

1450
01:15:44,600 --> 01:15:46,840
Speaker 2: I like that Bruce Thornton can get into Dayton and

1451
01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:49,200
Speaker 2: he can come across day Day and be gone quickly.

1452
01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:54,000
Speaker 4: Bruce Thornton would mop the floor with James, with any

1453
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:55,640
Speaker 4: of the god Glass.

1454
01:15:55,439 --> 01:16:00,519
Speaker 2: Guard br watching what if Bob oswitches onto him a

1455
01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:01,800
Speaker 2: length on Bruce.

1456
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:04,680
Speaker 4: A barbecue chicken theory, Bruce gonna take him to the

1457
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 4: whole ain't gonna be a problem. By the way, Bruce

1458
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:09,400
Speaker 4: Thornton is so beloved at Ohio State.

1459
01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:12,080
Speaker 3: He's been there through nine classes.

1460
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:15,760
Speaker 4: I know that he's getting a bobblehead night coming up

1461
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:19,400
Speaker 4: this weekend. They're giving away a Bruce Thornton bobblehead at

1462
01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:21,559
Speaker 4: Ohio State this weekend, which is awesome.

1463
01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:23,360
Speaker 3: They started planning in his junior year.

1464
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:28,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, how do you not respect the guy who's been

1465
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:32,160
Speaker 4: around in this age, in this era of college basketball

1466
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:34,960
Speaker 4: for him to stick around as long as he has?

1467
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:37,840
Speaker 3: Will they will they celebrate him senior night? Uh? Yeah?

1468
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:41,439
Speaker 3: Or what has he got another year? Well? I don't know.

1469
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:43,320
Speaker 3: Probably take him to court come back if he wants to,

1470
01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:46,400
Speaker 3: because what I would like now's no rules. Here's the deal, though.

1471
01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:50,519
Speaker 2: We're at the point of the college basketball season where

1472
01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:54,559
Speaker 2: when a conversation like that happens, then I immediately have

1473
01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:59,400
Speaker 2: to ask myself, what can it do for me? If

1474
01:16:59,479 --> 01:17:05,879
Speaker 2: Indiana and Ohio State are to play? Do Bearcat fans

1475
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:08,759
Speaker 2: want Ohio State to win and just secure their spot

1476
01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:13,759
Speaker 2: and create less room on the bubble because Indiana squarely

1477
01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:15,479
Speaker 2: on the bubble right now. Ohio State was on the

1478
01:17:15,479 --> 01:17:17,720
Speaker 2: bubble before they win yesterday. So if they're playing each other,

1479
01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:20,240
Speaker 2: do we want Ohio State just to solidify themselves and

1480
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:22,840
Speaker 2: kick Indiana off? Or do we want to get lumped

1481
01:17:22,880 --> 01:17:26,000
Speaker 2: in there after beating BYU and TCU on which team

1482
01:17:26,360 --> 01:17:27,200
Speaker 2: deserves the bubble?

1483
01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:29,920
Speaker 3: I would think you would win Ohio State to win, Okay,

1484
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:31,439
Speaker 3: I would think.

1485
01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:37,000
Speaker 2: Okay, don't forget. Don't forget UC wiped the floor with

1486
01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:38,840
Speaker 2: Michigan in a scrimmage this year.

1487
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:41,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, that doesn't matter. Also, Jeff, he doesn't get the

1488
01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:43,720
Speaker 4: right to be in the doul drums. You just won

1489
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:46,120
Speaker 4: the college Football Playoff national championship.

1490
01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:48,080
Speaker 3: What do you think there's going?

1491
01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:48,360
Speaker 8: Man?

1492
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:51,040
Speaker 4: Is it Bill Simmons or Ryan Rossillo or one of

1493
01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:53,960
Speaker 4: those guys has the five year Nickoson syndrome. After you

1494
01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:56,679
Speaker 4: win the national championship in any sport, you can't complain

1495
01:17:56,720 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 4: for five years.

1496
01:17:57,360 --> 01:18:00,080
Speaker 3: It sounds like a good rule to me. Yeah, I

1497
01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:03,080
Speaker 3: like that. Hopefully you get to enact that role sometimes.

1498
01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 16: Wait the project point something some Ham operators and some

1499
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:12,040

Speaker 2: at Dell High.

1502
01:18:17,600 --> 01:18:18,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, what did they do?

1503
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:28,280
Speaker 17: Oh my gosh, Another iconic movie line for sports. Make

1504
01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 17: them remember forever the night they played the title.

1505
01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:37,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, and right before that, we blitz all night, blitz

1506
01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:40,880
Speaker 4: bay them up, blitz. That's a different guy. Okay, that's

1507
01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:44,160
Speaker 4: a different guy. Oh, how how is role tied Willie doing?

1508
01:18:44,240 --> 01:18:45,080
Speaker 4: Is he still with us?

1509

Speaker 6: He is?

1510
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:46,240
Speaker 9: He is.

1511
01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:48,200
Speaker 2: I saw him taking some cuts in a batting cage

1512
01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:49,920
Speaker 2: the other Day'll tell you Roll Tied Willie and never

1513
01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:52,360
Speaker 2: seen a pair of socks. That's you know, for one reason.

1514
01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:54,840
Speaker 2: I don't know why I thought about it, and I

1515
01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:57,599
Speaker 2: actually googled it today. You know who I miss and

1516
01:18:57,640 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 2: we actually I actually met one time at our Rolls studio.

1517
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:05,920
Speaker 5: Turtle Man. You remember the Turtleman. Yeah, yeah, Turtleman live action.

1518
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:08,439
Speaker 5: Wondering the other day like where's he at? And where's

1519
01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 5: his buddy Squirrel? They both came to the old studios once.

1520
01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:13,000
Speaker 3: I think the Turtleman passed away.

1521
01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:15,760
Speaker 2: No, he's still alive and kicking, is he really? Yes,

1522
01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:18,600
Speaker 2: he's still doing videos. He's still getting vermins out of

1523
01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:19,040
Speaker 2: your yard.

1524
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:24,439
Speaker 5: One of those guys died, I thought, Steve Irwin, Well, yeah, but.

1525
01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:28,320
Speaker 3: Turtle Man is good man.

1526
01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:31,800
Speaker 4: This is totally off topic, but do you ever have

1527
01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:35,120
Speaker 4: you ever, like, I'm not trying to make people sad here,

1528
01:19:35,640 --> 01:19:37,720
Speaker 4: you ever like be scrolling through the contacts of your

1529
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:40,080
Speaker 4: phone and realize how many dead people you got in

1530
01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:40,800
Speaker 4: your contacts?

1531
01:19:41,680 --> 01:19:43,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, he hasn't done that before.

1532
01:19:43,240 --> 01:19:46,160
Speaker 4: Isn't that kind of like just a crazy or if

1533
01:19:46,200 --> 01:19:50,320
Speaker 4: you stumble upon somebody's social media profile that's no longer

1534
01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:53,080
Speaker 4: with us, that's just such an eerie feeling.

1535
01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:55,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that too. Yeah.

1536
01:19:55,560 --> 01:19:58,400
Speaker 2: Now do you know, speaking of Turtleman, why his show

1537
01:19:58,680 --> 01:19:59,639
Speaker 2: No Longer Happens?

1538
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:01,320
Speaker 3: Probably got canceled for something.

1539
01:20:01,479 --> 01:20:04,479
Speaker 2: He was found to have mishandled a baby raccoon and

1540
01:20:04,600 --> 01:20:06,920
Speaker 2: captured a deer potentially illegally.

1541
01:20:07,160 --> 01:20:08,840

Speaker 2: just twenty four days away from opening day. I know

1577
01:22:25,040 --> 01:22:27,280
Speaker 2: spring training is a long time, but we're getting there.

1578
01:22:27,800 --> 01:22:31,280
Speaker 2: We're getting closer, and you can't start thinking about Reds

1579
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:34,320
Speaker 2: and you can't start thinking about the great number twenty four.

1580
01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:36,240
Speaker 2: And look, I get that there are going to be

1581

1582
01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:40,160
Speaker 2: a second, it's not as easy as you think. What

1583
01:22:40,200 --> 01:22:44,320
Speaker 2: about Lee Grisham, What about Joejoe Morrissey? Of course, what

1584
01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:49,960
Speaker 2: about Spud Davis and Si Johnson. But this is a

1585
01:22:49,960 --> 01:22:53,879
Speaker 2: simple one today, the one and only Tony Perez Tony

1586
01:22:54,280 --> 01:22:57,040
Speaker 2: number twenty four for the Cincinnati Reds.

1587
01:22:57,479 --> 01:23:01,519
Speaker 4: Tony Perez first war the number twenty four for the

1588
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:07,080
Speaker 4: Reds in nineteen sixty four. Two players have worn it

1589
01:23:07,280 --> 01:23:14,880
Speaker 4: since him. Bob Skinner also wore it in nineteen sixty four.

1590
01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:18,240
Speaker 4: I don't know if there's any relation to Richard and

1591
01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:21,760
Speaker 4: then Dave Van Gorder wore in nineteen eighty two.

1592
01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:25,080
Speaker 3: Oh that Dave DVGG.

1593
01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:29,599
Speaker 4: But nobody else has worn it obviously, since Tony Perez

1594
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:33,799
Speaker 4: in nineteen eighty six. Yeah, My favorite Tony Perez fact

1595
01:23:33,960 --> 01:23:37,200
Speaker 4: is that he won the World Series with the Big

1596
01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:40,439
Speaker 4: Red Machine and also with the nineteen ninety team as

1597
01:23:40,439 --> 01:23:41,080
Speaker 4: a base coach.

1598
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:45,320
Speaker 3: That is a good fact. That's pretty cool, isn't it.

1599
01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:47,639

01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:55,439
Speaker 2: Yes, you see the ball, you hit the ball. That's

1603
01:23:55,720 --> 01:23:56,639
Speaker 2: pretty much how it goes.

1604
01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:59,240
Speaker 3: What about Si Johnson who wore it back in the

1605
01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:02,840
Speaker 3: day for the Red LFE. I don't remember much about Si.

Speaker 24: applauding the throw because it was that good of a.

1696
01:29:23,400 --> 01:29:24,920
Speaker 3: Throw and nail the runner at home plot.

1697
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:28,479
Speaker 4: And of course the first reply said Otani had the

1698
01:29:28,479 --> 01:29:29,719
Speaker 4: Buffalo's money line.

1699
01:29:30,479 --> 01:29:36,520
Speaker 2: Probably did. He probably did. I'll tell you what goosebumps

1700
01:29:37,439 --> 01:29:39,840
Speaker 2: alive and well in a Red's nine to seven Spring

1701
01:29:39,840 --> 01:29:42,040
Speaker 2: training went over the weekend as matt McClean in the

1702
01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:44,400
Speaker 2: first inning hit won three ninety four to write a

1703
01:29:44,479 --> 01:29:47,519
Speaker 2: long pants McClean, I'll tell you what, man, I dreamt

1704
01:29:47,520 --> 01:29:50,000
Speaker 2: about that home run last night, what it could mean

1705
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:50,800
Speaker 2: for this Reds team.

1706
01:29:50,920 --> 01:29:52,880
Speaker 3: I've been having some crazy dreams lately, but I haven't

1707
01:29:52,880 --> 01:29:53,679
Speaker 3: been dream about Homer.

1708
01:29:53,840 --> 01:29:58,280
Speaker 2: If we get that Matty Matty McClean production during the season.

1709
01:29:58,000 --> 01:29:59,559
Speaker 3: You're looking for Matthew W.

1710
01:29:59,640 --> 01:29:59,840
Speaker 19: Long.

1711
01:30:00,240 --> 01:30:04,080
Speaker 2: That's him. Before we get to anything else Reds related.

1712
01:30:04,080 --> 01:30:06,000
Speaker 2: When we kick off the third and final hour, along

Speaker 2: thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

1716
01:30:14,040 --> 01:30:20,760
Speaker 1: WCKWY Cincinnati is Tony Pike, Cincy three sixty about Cincinnati

1717
01:30:21,040 --> 01:30:27,040
Speaker 1: from Cincinnati. This is ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

1718
01:30:28,800 --> 01:30:34,160
Speaker 2: Welcome back the latest edition since e three sixty. ESPN

1719
01:30:34,200 --> 01:30:38,040
Speaker 2: fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station. Let's get to some reds

1720
01:30:38,120 --> 01:30:40,200
Speaker 2: in hour three, we'll get to more phone calls. Let's

1721
01:30:40,280 --> 01:30:43,120
Speaker 2: first start in the world of college basketball, because well

1722
01:30:43,160 --> 01:30:47,519
Speaker 2: it's March. Uh, it's March Madness time, and we had

1723
01:30:47,520 --> 01:30:49,400
Speaker 2: a little bit of a glimpse of that in the weekend.

1724
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:53,280
Speaker 2: Let's start with what's coming up the most pressing. The

1725
01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:57,320
Speaker 2: Horizon League Tournament starts this week. In fact, I believe

1726
01:30:57,479 --> 01:31:01,519
Speaker 2: the first playing game Cleveland State and IU Indie is

1727
01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:08,040
Speaker 2: tonight and the Horizon League Tournament after a disheartening what

1728
01:31:08,040 --> 01:31:12,040
Speaker 2: do you call it, disheartening loss? Heartbreaking a collapse on

1729
01:31:12,160 --> 01:31:17,880
Speaker 2: Saturday against rival Right State where the NKU Norse blew

1730
01:31:19,360 --> 01:31:23,400
Speaker 2: a substantial lead double digits against Wright State and then

1731
01:31:23,520 --> 01:31:26,960
Speaker 2: scored with seven seconds left to take the lead. Yeah,

1732
01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:30,439
Speaker 2: couldn't hold on and then gave up the game winning basketball,

1733
01:31:30,439 --> 01:31:33,240
Speaker 2: a game in which NKU at one point led by twenty,

1734
01:31:33,520 --> 01:31:36,280
Speaker 2: they lose to Wright State. To Wright State, they fall

1735
01:31:36,360 --> 01:31:39,680
Speaker 2: to ten and ten this year in the Horizon League standings,

1736
01:31:39,720 --> 01:31:44,400
Speaker 2: which means they will start as the seventh seed going

1737
01:31:44,479 --> 01:31:49,200
Speaker 2: into the Horizon League Tournament. That play starts Wednesday. Their

1738
01:31:49,200 --> 01:31:53,880
Speaker 2: first round game is at seven o'clock against fourth seeded Oakland.

1739
01:31:54,960 --> 01:31:58,599
Speaker 4: I mean, tonight, what more could you ask for than

1740
01:31:58,720 --> 01:32:04,000
Speaker 4: the ten and twenty one Cleveland State. Yeah, hosting seven

1741
01:32:04,040 --> 01:32:06,080
Speaker 4: and twenty four IU Indie.

1742
01:32:07,360 --> 01:32:08,920
Speaker 2: Well you get that, you get Duke n C State,

1743
01:32:08,960 --> 01:32:10,360
Speaker 2: Iowa State, Arizona as well.

1744
01:32:10,200 --> 01:32:12,120
Speaker 3: Cleveland State one and a half point favorites.

1745
01:32:14,200 --> 01:32:16,200
Speaker 2: Friday night number for you if you're betting on that

1746
01:32:16,520 --> 01:32:20,240
Speaker 2: Friday Night. How about what the RedHawks were able to do?

1747
01:32:21,200 --> 01:32:24,920
Speaker 2: I mean, what about the performance of Travis Steele, I

1748
01:32:24,960 --> 01:32:28,599
Speaker 2: mean getting the refs involved. He knocked over a speaker

1749
01:32:28,640 --> 01:32:29,240
Speaker 2: at one point.

1750
01:32:29,360 --> 01:32:31,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was I wasn't a huge fan of that.

1751
01:32:31,600 --> 01:32:36,880
Speaker 2: I mean Travis Steele lost his mind Friday night. He

1752
01:32:37,080 --> 01:32:42,639
Speaker 2: was losing it. And yet as his team is done

1753
01:32:43,320 --> 01:32:47,799
Speaker 2: at one point, trailing by nine, the resolve of Miami

1754
01:32:48,680 --> 01:32:52,280
Speaker 2: suitor fouls out, they were without a backup point guard,

1755
01:32:53,240 --> 01:32:55,559
Speaker 2: they still find a way to come from behind and

1756
01:32:55,640 --> 01:33:01,240
Speaker 2: beat Western Michigan at the gun as a time was expiring.

1757
01:33:02,560 --> 01:33:06,599
Speaker 2: I feel like we're running out of things to say

1758
01:33:06,640 --> 01:33:07,679
Speaker 2: about this Miami team.

1759
01:33:08,160 --> 01:33:11,880
Speaker 4: Up to number nineteen now in the latest AP Pole

1760
01:33:12,120 --> 01:33:15,280
Speaker 4: are the RedHawks, and I think, you know, there's there's

1761
01:33:15,280 --> 01:33:18,000
Speaker 4: just so much pressure mounting, And I don't know if

1762
01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:21,600
Speaker 4: that was maybe part of it, which feel where you know,

1763
01:33:22,280 --> 01:33:24,559
Speaker 4: stuff kind of goes hey wire in the first half

1764
01:33:24,560 --> 01:33:26,640
Speaker 4: and you just lose your mind because of all the

1765
01:33:26,680 --> 01:33:29,719
Speaker 4: pressure and all the talk and all the conversation about

1766
01:33:29,760 --> 01:33:32,679
Speaker 4: you really can't afford to slip up in the regular season.

1767
01:33:33,200 --> 01:33:34,720
Speaker 4: And I think maybe it just came to a head

1768
01:33:34,720 --> 01:33:38,000
Speaker 4: in that moment. And I mean, pushing over the DJ

1769
01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:42,040
Speaker 4: speaker not the best molievable, but whatever he said at

1770
01:33:42,080 --> 01:33:43,360
Speaker 4: halftime work, that's for sure.

1771
01:33:44,160 --> 01:33:48,760
Speaker 2: It was Trey Perry a layup as they were under

1772
01:33:48,800 --> 01:33:51,160
Speaker 2: one second left in the game to give Miami the

1773
01:33:51,240 --> 01:33:55,720
Speaker 2: sixty nine sixty seven win. As Austin mentioned, Miami is

1774
01:33:55,760 --> 01:33:58,320
Speaker 2: now up to number nineteen in the AP Pole. But

1775
01:33:58,320 --> 01:34:04,320
Speaker 2: it's the conversation now that is continuing around Miami basketball.

1776
01:34:05,520 --> 01:34:09,439
Speaker 2: It started over the weekend with Bruce Pearl. Bruce Pearl

1777
01:34:09,840 --> 01:34:14,120
Speaker 2: said that Miami doesn't deserve a spot in the tournament

1778
01:34:14,240 --> 01:34:20,280
Speaker 2: if they don't win the MAC Tournament. David Saylor, Sailor

1779
01:34:20,360 --> 01:34:25,160
Speaker 2: the ad at Miami, responded back with a tweet at

1780
01:34:25,200 --> 01:34:28,280
Speaker 2: coach Pearl, you're flat out wrong when you say we

1781
01:34:28,320 --> 01:34:32,240
Speaker 2: would finish last in the Big East. The disrespect is

1782
01:34:32,320 --> 01:34:35,400
Speaker 2: awful and you should not be near a TV studio

1783
01:34:35,479 --> 01:34:38,800
Speaker 2: covering this sport when you show your true colors. Even

1784
01:34:38,880 --> 01:34:42,280
Speaker 2: slipped in a WII when talking about Auburn.

1785
01:34:44,160 --> 01:34:46,720
Speaker 4: Pearl, he said, he said, he finished it by saying,

1786
01:34:46,800 --> 01:34:50,400
Speaker 4: nice work. Yeah, Pearl did. Really, he said, Miami, here's

1787
01:34:50,439 --> 01:34:54,479
Speaker 4: the deal. Are we selecting these sixty eight most deserving

1788
01:34:54,520 --> 01:34:56,639
Speaker 4: teams or are we going to select the sixty eight

1789
01:34:56,720 --> 01:35:00,160
Speaker 4: best teams. If we're gonna select the sixty eight best,

1790
01:35:00,280 --> 01:35:02,320
Speaker 4: Miami's gonna have to win the tournament to qualify as

1791
01:35:02,320 --> 01:35:04,479
Speaker 4: a champion as an at large because they're not one

1792
01:35:04,479 --> 01:35:09,599
Speaker 4: of the best teams in the country. Well, if you're

1793
01:35:09,640 --> 01:35:11,760
Speaker 4: gonna select the sixty eight best, then you would not

1794
01:35:11,800 --> 01:35:13,240
Speaker 4: have automatic qualifiers.

1795
01:35:13,240 --> 01:35:13,679
Speaker 3: Correct.

1796
01:35:13,800 --> 01:35:16,599
Speaker 4: It's never been about the best teams. It never has

1797
01:35:16,680 --> 01:35:20,120
Speaker 4: been about the best teams. It's more than anything, a

1798
01:35:20,240 --> 01:35:22,600
Speaker 4: money grab and that's why they keep expanding it and

1799
01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:25,120
Speaker 4: want to keep expanding it. But you don't ever have

1800
01:35:25,240 --> 01:35:28,680
Speaker 4: the best teams in there. It looks worse because obviously

1801
01:35:28,720 --> 01:35:33,840
Speaker 4: Bruce Pearl is is pushing for Auburn to be in

1802
01:35:33,880 --> 01:35:36,080
Speaker 4: the Auburn is squarely on the bubble right now, and

1803
01:35:36,120 --> 01:35:39,040
Speaker 4: his son it just so happens to be the coach

1804
01:35:39,040 --> 01:35:39,439
Speaker 4: at Auburn.

1805
01:35:39,520 --> 01:35:42,360
Speaker 5: At least it's obvious, right, You're not trying to hide anything.

1806
01:35:42,680 --> 01:35:43,280
Speaker 5: That's the thing.

1807
01:35:43,400 --> 01:35:47,360
Speaker 4: Like if Bruce Pearl would say, hey, clearly I'm biased

1808
01:35:47,400 --> 01:35:49,120
Speaker 4: and I want my son and his team to be

1809
01:35:49,160 --> 01:35:52,080
Speaker 4: in that's fine, But you really there's no need for

1810
01:35:52,120 --> 01:35:52,759
Speaker 4: Bruce Pearl.

1811
01:35:52,640 --> 01:35:54,080
Speaker 2: To be on TV if that's the gas which, by

1812
01:35:54,120 --> 01:35:58,120
Speaker 2: the way, Auburn fifteen and fourteen overall at home lost

1813
01:35:58,160 --> 01:36:00,000
Speaker 2: to three and twelve Old Miss over the weekend.

1814
01:36:00,040 --> 01:36:05,160
Speaker 4: I'm not interested in Bruce Pearl pushing an agenda about

1815
01:36:05,240 --> 01:36:09,360
Speaker 4: Auburn basketball. I'm interested in Bruce Pearl's analysis of why

1816
01:36:09,400 --> 01:36:11,479
Speaker 4: teams are good, why teams are bad, and what he

1817
01:36:11,560 --> 01:36:14,160
Speaker 4: thinks is going to happen, and if it's just going

1818
01:36:14,200 --> 01:36:17,519
Speaker 4: to be this team shouldn't be in because I want

1819
01:36:17,520 --> 01:36:19,439
Speaker 4: this team to be in, and Auburn this and all

1820
01:36:19,479 --> 01:36:19,880
Speaker 4: burn that.

1821
01:36:20,600 --> 01:36:20,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1822
01:36:20,960 --> 01:36:23,040
Speaker 4: I think you can obviously look at their conference and

1823
01:36:23,080 --> 01:36:26,240
Speaker 4: their schedule, and there are things that make sense when

1824
01:36:26,280 --> 01:36:31,439
Speaker 4: making the argument. But when you are quite obviously biased

1825
01:36:31,439 --> 01:36:33,639
Speaker 4: about a situation like this, I just don't put any

1826
01:36:33,640 --> 01:36:35,519
Speaker 4: stock into that from Bruce Park, I don't care.

1827
01:36:35,640 --> 01:36:37,080
Speaker 3: And now here is the deal.

1828
01:36:37,760 --> 01:36:40,479
Speaker 2: Miami plays Toledo at home on Tuesday this week and

1829
01:36:40,520 --> 01:36:41,599
Speaker 2: then they finish on the roodeo.

1830
01:36:41,720 --> 01:36:41,760
Speaker 19: You.

1831
01:36:42,720 --> 01:36:46,639
Speaker 2: I still believe Austin that it will get dicey if

1832
01:36:46,680 --> 01:36:49,000
Speaker 2: Miami loses one of their last two and then loses in.

1833
01:36:48,960 --> 01:36:51,120
Speaker 3: The MAC Tournament. I agree that will get dicey.

1834
01:36:51,640 --> 01:36:54,120
Speaker 2: It could get dicey if they win the next two

1835
01:36:54,360 --> 01:36:56,240
Speaker 2: and don't make the finals of the MAC Tournament.

1836
01:36:56,560 --> 01:36:57,080
Speaker 3: I get that.

1837
01:36:58,160 --> 01:37:03,280
Speaker 2: But Auburn, you just lost to a three win SEC

1838
01:37:03,320 --> 01:37:06,720
Speaker 2: team on your home floor, and now you're gonna try

1839
01:37:06,720 --> 01:37:09,839
Speaker 2: to push the agenda in this sense. That is Miami's

1840
01:37:09,920 --> 01:37:15,519
Speaker 2: upcoming schedule Toledo at home and then OWEU on the road.

1841
01:37:15,600 --> 01:37:19,599
Speaker 2: Other local teams that have been in action we've mentioned before.

1842
01:37:20,600 --> 01:37:24,160
Speaker 2: Ohio State got a huge win at home over Purdue

1843
01:37:24,560 --> 01:37:29,559
Speaker 2: over the weekend. Yes, make no mistake about it. Ohio

1844
01:37:29,560 --> 01:37:32,680
Speaker 2: State needed to win. They got to win. They go

1845
01:37:32,800 --> 01:37:36,720
Speaker 2: to abysmal Penn State on Wednesday this week, and then

1846
01:37:36,760 --> 01:37:40,320
Speaker 2: they finished their regular season against Arizona or against Indiana

1847
01:37:40,360 --> 01:37:44,559
Speaker 2: at home on March seventh. So that's what Ohio State,

1848
01:37:44,640 --> 01:37:47,719
Speaker 2: who is squarely on the bubble right now, has remaining.

1849
01:37:48,320 --> 01:37:50,960
Speaker 2: We're at the point where we know that the Dayton

1850
01:37:51,040 --> 01:37:55,679
Speaker 2: Flyers they essentially need to win the A ten tournament.

1851
01:37:55,720 --> 01:37:58,360
Speaker 2: Their record is not good enough. But Dayton is also

1852
01:37:58,400 --> 01:38:01,920
Speaker 2: a team that is playing better basketball winners now of

1853
01:38:02,160 --> 01:38:07,000
Speaker 2: five straight, Dayton has at Richmond and home versus VCU

1854
01:38:07,120 --> 01:38:10,800
Speaker 2: before the A ten Tournament. The Louisville Cardinals under head

1855
01:38:10,800 --> 01:38:14,640
Speaker 2: coach Pat Kelsey lose another one over the weekend, this

1856
01:38:14,760 --> 01:38:18,320
Speaker 2: time on the road at Clemson. Louisville all of a

1857
01:38:18,360 --> 01:38:23,120
Speaker 2: sudden is nine and seven in a down ACC this year.

1858
01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:26,400
Speaker 2: They're twenty and nine overall. Louisville is still an NCAA

1859
01:38:26,479 --> 01:38:29,559
Speaker 2: tournament team, home versus syracusan on the road at number

1860
01:38:29,600 --> 01:38:33,439
Speaker 2: twenty two Miami of Florida to finish out their regular season.

1861
01:38:33,479 --> 01:38:36,639
Speaker 2: And then the Kentucky Wildcats, who you take your hat off,

1862
01:38:36,680 --> 01:38:40,400
Speaker 2: because they to me, they're one of the most interesting

1863
01:38:40,439 --> 01:38:43,479
Speaker 2: teams this year in the tournament. Because I don't know

1864
01:38:43,520 --> 01:38:46,640
Speaker 2: what Kentucky is. Some days it looks like they can

1865
01:38:46,680 --> 01:38:49,880
Speaker 2: beat anyone in the country. Other times they lose just

1866
01:38:50,200 --> 01:38:53,479
Speaker 2: head scratching games. They beat top twenty five ranked Vanderbilt

1867
01:38:53,560 --> 01:38:56,680
Speaker 2: ninety one seventy seven. Not easy for Kentucky on the

1868
01:38:56,680 --> 01:38:59,200
Speaker 2: way out at Texas A and M and then home

1869
01:38:59,320 --> 01:39:02,600
Speaker 2: versus Florida. But as today comes, I think Kentucky is

1870
01:39:02,600 --> 01:39:06,920
Speaker 2: a team that is in the NCAA Tournament. Locally, the

1871
01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:10,400
Speaker 2: Xavier Musketeers are not a tournament team. The Xavier would

1872
01:39:10,439 --> 01:39:12,360
Speaker 2: have to go on a run and win the Big

1873
01:39:12,400 --> 01:39:15,240
Speaker 2: East Championship for them to be in the NCAA Tournament.

1874
01:39:15,280 --> 01:39:19,679
Speaker 2: But a good win over Georgetown at home on Saturday

1875
01:39:19,760 --> 01:39:23,000
Speaker 2: ninety one to eighty four for the Xavier Musketeers, led

1876
01:39:23,080 --> 01:39:25,360
Speaker 2: again as they've been for much of the year, by

1877
01:39:25,439 --> 01:39:28,799
Speaker 2: Trey Carroll. Roddy Anderson off the bench added twenty one points.

1878
01:39:29,240 --> 01:39:32,920
Speaker 2: Xavier gets their sixth Big East win of the season

1879
01:39:33,840 --> 01:39:38,439
Speaker 2: that has won more than Georgetown and Marquette. Xavier, by

1880
01:39:38,439 --> 01:39:42,280
Speaker 2: the way, finishes up their regular season against Seaton Hall

1881
01:39:42,439 --> 01:39:44,720
Speaker 2: tomorrow at the Centas Center, and then a trip on

1882
01:39:44,800 --> 01:39:48,760
Speaker 2: Saturday to Villanova will finish up the regular season for

1883
01:39:48,800 --> 01:39:51,760
Speaker 2: the Xavier Musketeers. And then there is the Cincinnati Bearcats.

1884
01:39:52,920 --> 01:39:57,880
Speaker 2: Another win over the weekend. They have now won five

1885
01:39:57,920 --> 01:40:00,080
Speaker 2: of their last six. That lone loss was on the

1886
01:40:00,160 --> 01:40:05,599
Speaker 2: road at a good Texas Tech squad. They beat Oklahoma State,

1887
01:40:05,680 --> 01:40:09,120
Speaker 2: and really they left no doubt about it in that win,

1888
01:40:09,320 --> 01:40:12,759
Speaker 2: ninety one to sixty eight. The Bearcats put up fifty

1889
01:40:12,800 --> 01:40:14,920
Speaker 2: one in the first half, forty in the second half,

1890
01:40:15,479 --> 01:40:19,920
Speaker 2: and it was an offensive onslaught, which we've not seen

1891
01:40:19,960 --> 01:40:22,759
Speaker 2: as much this year. Boba Miller flirted with a triple

1892
01:40:22,800 --> 01:40:27,000
Speaker 2: double eleven points, eight rebounds, eight assist. Mustapha cham has

1893
01:40:27,040 --> 01:40:30,880
Speaker 2: been awesome twenty four points, fifteen boards. Gisel James added

1894
01:40:30,880 --> 01:40:35,000
Speaker 2: eleven points, Celestine headed eight, and they got twenty six

1895
01:40:35,560 --> 01:40:39,800
Speaker 2: from Dayde Thomas, including seven of eleven from the three

1896
01:40:39,840 --> 01:40:43,040
Speaker 2: point line for the guard. For the Cincinnati Bearcats again,

1897
01:40:43,120 --> 01:40:47,320
Speaker 2: now sixteen and thirteen overall and eight and eight in

1898
01:40:47,400 --> 01:40:53,920
Speaker 2: the Big Twelve. UC's Slim tournament hopes now turned to

1899
01:40:53,920 --> 01:40:58,960
Speaker 2: tomorrow night. It's a nine o'clock ESBN two matchup against BYU,

1900
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:02,000
Speaker 2: who is going through a slow their own. BYU is

1901
01:41:02,040 --> 01:41:06,559
Speaker 2: still a tournament team, but BYU is playing themselves into

1902
01:41:06,560 --> 01:41:09,320
Speaker 2: that eight to nine range. They obviously lost Richie Saunders,

1903
01:41:09,320 --> 01:41:13,439
Speaker 2: their second leading scorer, still led by aj Debonsta, who

1904
01:41:13,479 --> 01:41:15,920
Speaker 2: is a phenomenal player and a player who will be

1905
01:41:15,960 --> 01:41:19,040
Speaker 2: worth the price of admission just to see him tomorrow night.

1906
01:41:19,120 --> 01:41:21,640
Speaker 2: But I'm looking forward to this one tomorrow night. It

1907
01:41:21,640 --> 01:41:24,479
Speaker 2: should be a fantastic crowd, a great environment.

1908
01:41:24,960 --> 01:41:25,320
Speaker 3: You see.

1909
01:41:25,320 --> 01:41:28,479
Speaker 2: Will then turn around and on Saturday they got a

1910
01:41:28,560 --> 01:41:31,000
Speaker 2: road trip to TCU, who's another team that's kind of

1911
01:41:31,040 --> 01:41:35,080
Speaker 2: squarely on the bubble right now. But if if you

1912
01:41:35,120 --> 01:41:37,360
Speaker 2: want to give yourself a chance and you're the Bearcats,

1913
01:41:38,280 --> 01:41:41,360
Speaker 2: you got to win the next two. It starts with

1914
01:41:41,439 --> 01:41:43,320
Speaker 2: winning at least one in the Big twelve tournament, and

1915
01:41:43,320 --> 01:41:47,080
Speaker 2: you probably need some help around you. But I'll say this, Austin,

1916
01:41:47,320 --> 01:41:50,559
Speaker 2: as bad as you see was early on in the year,

1917
01:41:51,200 --> 01:41:54,160
Speaker 2: an Eastern Michigan loss, there's no rhyme or reason about that.

1918
01:41:54,200 --> 01:41:55,960
Speaker 2: I don't care if Bobby Miller played or not. I

1919
01:41:56,000 --> 01:41:57,960
Speaker 2: don't care if Gisel James won on the team or not.

1920
01:41:58,680 --> 01:42:01,639
Speaker 2: It was an awful loss and it's one you can't

1921
01:42:01,800 --> 01:42:06,200
Speaker 2: outrun based on the resume this year. Outside of that, yeah,

1922
01:42:06,240 --> 01:42:08,800
Speaker 2: you want one of the West Virginia games back. You'd

1923
01:42:08,840 --> 01:42:11,519
Speaker 2: like the Arizona State game back on the road, But

1924
01:42:11,600 --> 01:42:15,360
Speaker 2: this team has of late. Again, say whatever you want

1925
01:42:15,400 --> 01:42:18,439
Speaker 2: about how the season is unfolded. Seeing this team win

1926
01:42:18,479 --> 01:42:22,800
Speaker 2: five or six down the stretch, they have played better basketball,

1927
01:42:23,040 --> 01:42:25,160
Speaker 2: not saying that they are a team that should be

1928
01:42:25,160 --> 01:42:28,599
Speaker 2: in the tournament, but if they went out, you finish.

1929
01:42:28,680 --> 01:42:30,519
Speaker 2: If you're the Bearcats at ten and eight in the

1930
01:42:30,520 --> 01:42:33,320
Speaker 2: Big Twelve, that would put them to eighteen and thirteen

1931
01:42:33,360 --> 01:42:35,360
Speaker 2: on the regular season with the chance to maybe go

1932
01:42:35,400 --> 01:42:37,640
Speaker 2: do something in the Big Twelve tournament. You would at

1933
01:42:37,680 --> 01:42:39,840
Speaker 2: least be on the conversation. They already are. They're on

1934
01:42:39,880 --> 01:42:42,720
Speaker 2: the next four out line according to Joe Lonardi, and

1935
01:42:42,800 --> 01:42:46,559
Speaker 2: you need a lot of other help. But there is

1936
01:42:46,600 --> 01:42:51,120
Speaker 2: an outside chance that you could talk about the Bearcats

1937
01:42:51,160 --> 01:42:55,080
Speaker 2: and a path forward that conversation, though wouldn't happen until

1938
01:42:55,439 --> 01:42:57,639
Speaker 2: after tomorrow night if they were able to get past BYU.

1939
01:42:59,120 --> 01:43:04,080
Speaker 2: Other Top twenty five action over the weekend, Michigan on

1940
01:43:04,120 --> 01:43:08,080
Speaker 2: the road at number ten, Illinois dismantled Illinois the eighty

1941
01:43:08,080 --> 01:43:11,720
Speaker 2: four to seventy. Score wasn't really indicative of how much

1942
01:43:11,720 --> 01:43:15,560
Speaker 2: of a blowout that was throughout the game. Speaking of blowouts,

1943
01:43:15,920 --> 01:43:17,960
Speaker 2: I don't know who's catching number one duke right now.

1944
01:43:18,000 --> 01:43:21,080
Speaker 2: Seventy seven to fifty one winners over number eleven Virginia

1945
01:43:21,560 --> 01:43:25,200
Speaker 2: Arizona all over Kansas eighty four to sixty one. I

1946
01:43:25,240 --> 01:43:26,920
Speaker 2: mentioned to Mike earlier in the show, I thought the

1947
01:43:26,960 --> 01:43:30,960
Speaker 2: Texas Tech win over Iowa State was extremely impressive. Houston

1948
01:43:31,080 --> 01:43:33,360
Speaker 2: had lost three in a row. They come back and

1949
01:43:33,400 --> 01:43:38,040
Speaker 2: win by forty against Colorado. Yukon held on against Seaton Hall,

1950
01:43:38,080 --> 01:43:41,479
Speaker 2: a Top twenty matchup Florida one eleven to seventy seven

1951
01:43:41,960 --> 01:43:45,599
Speaker 2: all over. Coach cal shout out to Saint Mary's as well,

1952
01:43:46,000 --> 01:43:50,280
Speaker 2: unranked sixteen and two in their conference knocks off Gonzaga

1953
01:43:50,520 --> 01:43:57,080
Speaker 2: seventy to fifty nine. Are you a big Fred Hoiberg guy, Austin, Well,

1954
01:43:57,160 --> 01:44:00,559
Speaker 2: he's doing at Nebraska. No, you're not a Hoyburg guy. No,

1955
01:44:00,960 --> 01:44:05,280
Speaker 2: well he knocked off USC and USA US season shambles.

1956
01:44:05,960 --> 01:44:08,519
Speaker 2: Chance Baker Mazara, their leading scorer, has been kicked off

1957
01:44:08,520 --> 01:44:11,360
Speaker 2: the team. Gilbert Arenas, his son's on the team. He

1958
01:44:11,400 --> 01:44:14,360
Speaker 2: wasn't happy about it. Alabama beat Tennessee on the road,

1959
01:44:15,640 --> 01:44:18,640
Speaker 2: West Virginia knocked off BYU. That's a bubble game for

1960
01:44:18,680 --> 01:44:21,479
Speaker 2: sure if you're the UC Bearcats and watching along with that.

1961
01:44:22,400 --> 01:44:25,479
Speaker 2: And then yesterday Michigan State beat Indiana on the road

1962
01:44:25,880 --> 01:44:30,880
Speaker 2: and Purdue falls at Ohio State. That is where things

1963
01:44:30,920 --> 01:44:34,080
Speaker 2: are at as it related to college basketball and some

1964
01:44:34,160 --> 01:44:36,920
Speaker 2: of the March madness outlooks. We had a call, we

1965
01:44:36,920 --> 01:44:38,760
Speaker 2: were getting ready to get to talking about Miami, but

1966
01:44:38,840 --> 01:44:40,479
Speaker 2: we'd lost that call. So we'll get a break in,

1967
01:44:40,560 --> 01:44:41,559
Speaker 2: we'll come back, we'll switch.

1968
01:44:41,600 --> 01:44:43,639
Speaker 4: This is gonna tell us that, you know, Lamar went

1969
01:44:43,720 --> 01:44:46,960
Speaker 4: twenty eight and six a long time ago and lost

1970
01:44:46,960 --> 01:44:49,320
Speaker 4: in their conference tournament and did not make the tournament.

1971
01:44:49,680 --> 01:44:54,120
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Well, now that we got that sort

1972
01:44:54,120 --> 01:44:56,840
Speaker 2: it out, we'll take a break. When we come back,

1973
01:44:58,240 --> 01:45:01,160
Speaker 2: let's go to some red spring training baseball. We'll talk

1974

Speaker 2: more Reds next and your phone calls five, one, three, seven, four, nine,

Speaker 2: rankings are now out, let's go to the baseball field

1994
01:46:33,320 --> 01:46:36,000
Speaker 2: and what happened over the weekend for the Cincinnati Reds.

1995
01:46:36,360 --> 01:46:42,640
Speaker 2: Let's start with the win against the Brewers, although I

1996
01:46:42,640 --> 01:46:44,080
Speaker 2: don't know if we call it a win based on

1997
01:46:44,120 --> 01:46:48,280
Speaker 2: a Hunter Greens outing and again, everything we do with

1998
01:46:48,560 --> 01:46:52,320
Speaker 2: spring training baseball Austin goes back to what it's spring training,

1999
01:46:53,000 --> 01:46:55,960
Speaker 2: so we're trying not to overreact, but you also don't

2000
01:46:56,000 --> 01:47:00,479
Speaker 2: want to not react to what's going on. For instance,

2001
01:47:00,920 --> 01:47:04,200
Speaker 2: mentioned earlier, Matt McClain hit a first inning home run

2002
01:47:04,240 --> 01:47:06,679
Speaker 2: to right center field that went three hundred and ninety

2003
01:47:06,680 --> 01:47:11,320
Speaker 2: four feet gave the Reds a one nothing lead. The

2004
01:47:11,400 --> 01:47:13,559
Speaker 2: issue for the Reds is in the bottom half of

2005
01:47:13,560 --> 01:47:19,080
Speaker 2: that inning, their starting pitcher and ace Hunter Green walked

2006
01:47:19,080 --> 01:47:22,800
Speaker 2: about her allowed five other hits and four on runs

2007
01:47:22,800 --> 01:47:25,000
Speaker 2: to cross the plate in just one inning of work.

2008
01:47:25,960 --> 01:47:28,000
Speaker 3: In his start over the weekend.

2009
01:47:28,960 --> 01:47:33,040
Speaker 4: I thought he had a really strange answer answer about

2010
01:47:33,080 --> 01:47:39,400
Speaker 4: his performance in the post game, and I'm making sure

2011
01:47:39,439 --> 01:47:41,120
Speaker 4: I have it correctly here.

2012
01:47:44,280 --> 01:47:44,639
Speaker 3: Quote.

2013
01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:50,080
Speaker 4: Results weren't great going in the plan, especially adjusting to

2014
01:47:50,160 --> 01:47:53,679
Speaker 4: the abs was I wanted to fill the zone up.

2015
01:47:54,520 --> 01:47:58,080
Speaker 4: I was probably too middle today it's a good hitting

2016
01:47:58,120 --> 01:48:01,439
Speaker 4: team trying to find more of those corners. I can

2017
01:48:01,520 --> 01:48:04,040
Speaker 4: taper and work from there. Fill the zone up, and

2018
01:48:04,080 --> 01:48:07,519
Speaker 4: then as I adjust, I'll start getting those corners ball

2019
01:48:07,640 --> 01:48:10,040
Speaker 4: to strike and strike the balls. I stuck to my

2020
01:48:10,120 --> 01:48:13,120
Speaker 4: plan and definitely wanted to fill the zone up, probably

2021
01:48:13,200 --> 01:48:17,839
Speaker 4: a little too much. Okay, Hunter Green is very anti

2022
01:48:17,960 --> 01:48:23,120
Speaker 4: ABS openly said he did not want ABS. I think

2023
01:48:23,120 --> 01:48:28,000
Speaker 4: it's weird that he brought up ABS in the post game.

2024
01:48:28,160 --> 01:48:29,559
Speaker 3: In the postgame, I do too.

2025
01:48:30,240 --> 01:48:34,800
Speaker 4: I don't quite understand that whether or not ABS exists,

2026
01:48:36,040 --> 01:48:37,840
Speaker 4: you're doing the same things.

2027
01:48:38,120 --> 01:48:40,880
Speaker 2: And here's the issue. It is going to exist this year. Yeah,

2028
01:48:40,960 --> 01:48:42,920
Speaker 2: so it is what it is.

2029
01:48:43,320 --> 01:48:45,720
Speaker 4: Just because ABS is around doesn't mean you have to

2030
01:48:45,720 --> 01:48:47,120
Speaker 4: throw the ball in the middle of his zone.

2031
01:48:47,600 --> 01:48:48,000
Speaker 3: Correct.

2032
01:48:48,000 --> 01:48:51,160
Speaker 4: You can still hit the corners and you will adjust

2033
01:48:51,160 --> 01:48:54,720
Speaker 4: to it as time goes on. I just didn't love

2034
01:48:54,760 --> 01:48:55,880
Speaker 4: that answer from Hunter.

2035
01:48:56,280 --> 01:48:58,360
Speaker 2: He clearly wasn't fulling any It wasn't like he got

2036
01:48:58,400 --> 01:49:00,000
Speaker 2: caught and gave up a long shot.

2037
01:49:00,320 --> 01:49:03,320
Speaker 4: And as I mentioned earlier, Jeff Brantley on the radio

2038
01:49:03,400 --> 01:49:06,760
Speaker 4: broadcast had basically said that, you know, I wonder if

2039
01:49:06,760 --> 01:49:10,519
Speaker 4: there is a tell that the Brewers have on Hunter Green.

2040
01:49:11,160 --> 01:49:14,400
Speaker 4: And again it's spring training first outing, who knows, and

2041
01:49:14,439 --> 01:49:16,759
Speaker 4: they've all most of those guys have seen Hunter before

2042
01:49:16,800 --> 01:49:20,479
Speaker 4: and that gives an advantage for sure, But like the

2043
01:49:20,560 --> 01:49:24,479
Speaker 4: amount of they weren't even swinging hard. They use kind

2044
01:49:24,520 --> 01:49:28,640
Speaker 4: of his velocity against him to just have controlled swings

2045
01:49:28,760 --> 01:49:32,439
Speaker 4: in the zone and they hammer him, and it's happened

2046
01:49:32,680 --> 01:49:34,240
Speaker 4: more than once against Milwaukee.

2047
01:49:34,240 --> 01:49:35,000
Speaker 3: It's very strange.

2048
01:49:35,360 --> 01:49:39,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I guess my thought when hearing that, Like,

2049
01:49:39,080 --> 01:49:41,880
Speaker 2: if I'm Hunter, what I would rather hear is, you know,

2050
01:49:42,120 --> 01:49:44,120
Speaker 2: first start in the spring. I'm just trying to work

2051
01:49:44,120 --> 01:49:44,800
Speaker 2: on some new stuff.

2052
01:49:44,840 --> 01:49:45,360
Speaker 3: I'll be all right.

2053
01:49:46,360 --> 01:49:49,080
Speaker 2: Other than it, it sounded like an excuse. And if

2054
01:49:49,120 --> 01:49:50,960
Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken, I don't think he threw the two

2055
01:49:51,000 --> 01:49:53,880
Speaker 2: seamer at all. I don't need to hear that. I'm

2056
01:49:53,920 --> 01:49:54,920
Speaker 2: good with the excuses.

2057
01:49:55,120 --> 01:49:57,439
Speaker 4: The last two times we've seen Hunter Green pitch, he's

2058
01:49:57,479 --> 01:50:02,679
Speaker 4: gotten destroyed without a doubt saying. I'm not saying I'm worried.

2059
01:50:02,880 --> 01:50:05,840
Speaker 4: I'm just what do they say on Twitter these days?

2060
01:50:05,840 --> 01:50:09,320
Speaker 2: Hashtag noticing yep okay, which I think is what we

2061
01:50:09,400 --> 01:50:13,360
Speaker 2: do in spring training. Sure, it's not overreacting or ignoring.

2062
01:50:13,560 --> 01:50:18,799
Speaker 2: It's just kind of noticing what's going on again, noticing

2063
01:50:19,240 --> 01:50:22,960
Speaker 2: good start to the spring from Matt McClain. Ellie added

2064
01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:27,519
Speaker 2: another hit in the game. Reds were beneficiaries, I believe.

2065
01:50:27,960 --> 01:50:31,320
Speaker 2: I don't remember the end, maybe the sixth inning where

2066
01:50:31,680 --> 01:50:34,360
Speaker 2: the ABS actually helped them on what would have been

2067
01:50:34,400 --> 01:50:35,560
Speaker 2: a strike three.

2068
01:50:36,920 --> 01:50:37,799
Speaker 3: To Dane Myers.

2069
01:50:38,800 --> 01:50:40,880
Speaker 2: Next thing, you know, Dane Myers doubles and two runs,

2070
01:50:40,880 --> 01:50:42,760
Speaker 2: score and the Reds end up taking the lead and

2071
01:50:42,840 --> 01:50:45,960
Speaker 2: ultimately winning the game. But as Charlie Goldsmith said on

2072
01:50:46,000 --> 01:50:48,519
Speaker 2: Friday Austin, there are going to be segments this year

2073
01:50:49,040 --> 01:50:52,080
Speaker 2: where we're going to talk about how ABS impacts not

2074
01:50:52,200 --> 01:50:54,519
Speaker 2: just an inning, not just to play, but wins and

2075
01:50:54,560 --> 01:50:59,280
Speaker 2: losses this year. Sure, and you saw that firsthand in

2076
01:50:59,360 --> 01:51:03,679
Speaker 2: the game against the Milwaukee Brewers that was started again

2077
01:51:04,400 --> 01:51:09,200
Speaker 2: by Hunter Green. The next start for the Cincinnati Reds

2078
01:51:09,240 --> 01:51:13,599
Speaker 2: came against the Athletics. That was a game in which

2079
01:51:13,880 --> 01:51:19,360
Speaker 2: Andrew Abbot went two and two thirds, three hits, one walk, and.

2080
01:51:19,479 --> 01:51:20,200
Speaker 3: Four un run.

2081
01:51:20,360 --> 01:51:22,720
Speaker 2: So if you look at that top end of the

2082
01:51:22,720 --> 01:51:25,280
Speaker 2: Reds rotation and last year's All Star Andrew Abbot and

2083
01:51:25,320 --> 01:51:28,320
Speaker 2: Hunter Green, not great back to back days. And again

2084
01:51:28,800 --> 01:51:32,360
Speaker 2: not overreacting, not just noticing. I guess you could say

2085
01:51:32,760 --> 01:51:35,000
Speaker 2: what Andrew Abbot was able to do or not do

2086
01:51:35,800 --> 01:51:38,439
Speaker 2: in that game against the Athletics.

2087
01:51:38,479 --> 01:51:43,080
Speaker 4: He said, quote, I gave up some hard contact, not ideal. Overall,

2088
01:51:43,120 --> 01:51:46,120
Speaker 4: I felt good. I was executing in the zone early,

2089
01:51:46,280 --> 01:51:48,759
Speaker 4: doing a lot of the little things right. Staying healthy

2090
01:51:48,880 --> 01:51:51,760
Speaker 4: is the biggest thing. Okay, the execution isn't there yet,

2091
01:51:51,800 --> 01:51:54,200
Speaker 4: but it's still early. They got some good swings off

2092
01:51:54,520 --> 01:51:57,280
Speaker 4: tip your cap. I can't get Langaliers out to save

2093
01:51:57,320 --> 01:52:00,320
Speaker 4: my life. The thing is getting off The thing is

2094
01:52:00,360 --> 01:52:02,400
Speaker 4: getting my off speed pitches in the zone.

2095
01:52:02,479 --> 01:52:08,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go, Langaliers curly owns Andrew Abbott Shay Langaliers.

2096
01:52:09,040 --> 01:52:09,560
Speaker 8: Uh.

2097
01:52:09,680 --> 01:52:12,160
Speaker 3: You know it has not had a great spring training

2098
01:52:12,200 --> 01:52:12,639
Speaker 3: on the mound.

2099
01:52:12,880 --> 01:52:17,439
Speaker 2: Who's that Louis May? Yeah, yeah, right north of forty

2100
01:52:17,520 --> 01:52:20,800
Speaker 2: right now. Can't throw strikes yep.

2101
01:52:21,600 --> 01:52:23,640
Speaker 4: And you know there was an outing he had I

2102
01:52:23,640 --> 01:52:25,280
Speaker 4: think might have been his first or second outing of

2103
01:52:25,280 --> 01:52:27,200
Speaker 4: the spring, in which he struck the first two guys

2104
01:52:27,200 --> 01:52:31,840
Speaker 4: out and then immediately starts throwing balls and he rebounded

2105
01:52:31,880 --> 01:52:35,000
Speaker 4: to strike them out, strike the last guy out. But

2106
01:52:35,520 --> 01:52:38,880
Speaker 4: listening to Jeff Brantley talk about that, there seems to

2107
01:52:38,920 --> 01:52:43,439
Speaker 4: be a lack of focus for Louis May and has

2108
01:52:43,520 --> 01:52:46,920
Speaker 4: not made the adjustments to clean up the strike zone.

2109
01:52:47,400 --> 01:52:51,479
Speaker 4: Just can't throw strikes. Yeah, And Brantley kind of sounded

2110
01:52:51,520 --> 01:52:56,559
Speaker 4: disgusted by Washington Louis May, and I feel the same

2111
01:52:56,560 --> 01:52:58,680
Speaker 4: way about like Graham Ashcraft, like you got to come

2112
01:52:58,720 --> 01:53:01,439
Speaker 4: in and throw strikes. Ye, you're a big league release,

2113
01:53:01,600 --> 01:53:03,880
Speaker 4: say in spring training, and you're doing the same stuff

2114
01:53:03,920 --> 01:53:06,840
Speaker 4: you've done the last couple of years. Figure it out.

2115
01:53:07,200 --> 01:53:12,400
Speaker 2: Yep, Red's did get a Nathaniel Lowe home run and

2116
01:53:12,479 --> 01:53:15,840
Speaker 2: a Dane Myers home run four to sixty from.

2117
01:53:15,720 --> 01:53:18,599
Speaker 3: Low Yeah, the sound off that one, yep.

2118
01:53:18,960 --> 01:53:23,160
Speaker 2: Three run home run Myers was a solo job four

2119
01:53:23,240 --> 01:53:28,760
Speaker 2: hundred and nineteen feet as well any other any other

2120
01:53:28,800 --> 01:53:32,000
Speaker 2: thing from red spring training weekend that stood out to you.

2121
01:53:32,360 --> 01:53:37,360
Speaker 4: I'm just really excited about this position battle with these outfielders. Okay,

2122
01:53:37,479 --> 01:53:43,160
Speaker 4: I mean Blake Dune, Will Benson, Dane Myers and JJ Bledet.

2123
01:53:43,320 --> 01:53:44,960
Speaker 4: I mean they all look really good at the plate.

2124
01:53:45,560 --> 01:53:48,200
Speaker 4: They all look I mean obviously are good enough defenders,

2125
01:53:48,280 --> 01:53:49,439
Speaker 4: Dane Myers especially.

2126
01:53:51,479 --> 01:53:51,719
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2127
01:53:52,000 --> 01:53:54,599
Speaker 5: Just I'm excited to see how this plays out over

2128
01:53:54,640 --> 01:53:55,439
Speaker 5: the next couple weeks.

2129
01:53:55,640 --> 01:53:58,519
Speaker 3: Yep, let's take a break.

2130
01:53:58,600 --> 01:54:00,960
Speaker 2: When we come back, let's dive into what I think

2131
01:54:01,840 --> 01:54:04,360
Speaker 2: is a little bit of a peek ahead, maybe to

2132
01:54:04,439 --> 01:54:08,320
Speaker 2: twenty four days. A lot of today's Reds lineup against

2133
01:54:08,320 --> 01:54:10,879
Speaker 2: the Cubs is something I think they can take advantage

2134
01:54:10,880 --> 01:54:12,840
Speaker 2: of when they take the field on Opening Day against

2135
01:54:12,840 --> 01:54:15,280
Speaker 2: the Boston Red Sox. Let's dive into that and more

2136
01:54:15,920 --> 01:54:18,439
Speaker 2: around the Cincinnati Reds. When we were turned on ESPN

2137
01:54:18,520 --> 01:54:20,120
Speaker 2: fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

2138
01:54:20,760 --> 01:54:31,240
Speaker 3: You know this time of year if you're getting we

2139
01:54:31,320 --> 01:54:34,960
Speaker 3: got some news on Travis Steele. Oh what do we got?

2140
01:54:35,320 --> 01:54:40,960
Speaker 4: The Mid American Conference has fined Travis Steele twenty five

2141
01:54:42,000 --> 01:54:46,240
Speaker 4: okay for knocking over the speaker at Western Michigan. He

2142
01:54:46,280 --> 01:54:49,240
Speaker 4: will also have to pay for any damage that was

2143
01:54:49,280 --> 01:54:57,000
Speaker 4: incurred to the equipment. So he has violated the conduct

2144
01:54:57,920 --> 01:55:01,560
Speaker 4: or his conduct violated the Max Sportsmanship policy.

2145
01:55:02,280 --> 01:55:06,320
Speaker 3: According to the statement, a guy was big mad going

2146
01:55:06,360 --> 01:55:07,640
Speaker 3: into the locker room at halftime.

2147
01:55:07,760 --> 01:55:09,880
Speaker 5: Bet if we asked Travis, he'd say it's the best

2148
01:55:09,880 --> 01:55:11,320
Speaker 5: twenty five hundred he's ever spent.

2149
01:55:11,440 --> 01:55:16,760
Speaker 2: I think so as well. My goodness, that was an angry,

2150
01:55:16,880 --> 01:55:21,200
Speaker 2: angry man walking off the court at halftime. If it

2151
01:55:21,240 --> 01:55:22,760
Speaker 2: wasn't the speaker, it was gonna be something else.

2152
01:55:23,360 --> 01:55:23,800
Speaker 3: Just had to be.

2153
01:55:23,840 --> 01:55:27,160
Speaker 2: What was there when he turned around Austin. How will

2154
01:55:27,200 --> 01:55:30,600
Speaker 2: the Reds play it today when they take the field

2155
01:55:30,640 --> 01:55:34,000
Speaker 2: against the Chicago Cubs. Can we get a Red lineup?

2156
01:55:34,040 --> 01:55:34,680
Speaker 3: We sure can.

2157
01:55:34,840 --> 01:55:36,560
Speaker 4: I just got to make sure that the sounder is

2158
01:55:37,200 --> 01:55:39,680
Speaker 4: where it's supposed to be, and just right there where I.

2159
01:55:39,720 --> 01:55:40,480
Speaker 3: Left there it is.

2160
01:55:41,240 --> 01:55:43,440
Speaker 4: Here's how the redsu line them up back in Goodyear

2161
01:55:43,480 --> 01:55:46,080
Speaker 4: to take on the Bababo Bubbs. Today it'll be leading

2162
01:55:46,080 --> 01:55:50,120
Speaker 4: off center fielder TJ. Friedol Check batting second. The second

2163
01:55:50,200 --> 01:55:51,480
Speaker 4: baseman Matt McClean.

2164
01:55:51,600 --> 01:55:51,920
Speaker 3: Okay.

2165
01:55:52,480 --> 01:55:56,000
Speaker 4: The third batter is shortstop Elie de la Cruz hitting

2166
01:55:56,000 --> 01:55:58,920
Speaker 4: clean up today is the d H. Sal Stewart. The

2167
01:55:58,960 --> 01:56:02,920
Speaker 4: fifth batter is for spaceman Spencer Steer. Will Benson will

2168
01:56:02,960 --> 01:56:06,200
Speaker 4: bat sixth, then play left field. Noel Vi Marte will

2169
01:56:06,200 --> 01:56:09,280
Speaker 4: bat seventh and play right field. The eighth batter is

2170
01:56:09,360 --> 01:56:13,720
Speaker 4: catcher Jose Travino batting ninth. The third baseman Key Brian

2171
01:56:13,800 --> 01:56:20,160
Speaker 4: Hayes with Brady Singer on the mound once more. For Cincinnati,

2172
01:56:20,280 --> 01:56:25,400
Speaker 4: that's friedol McClain, d La Cruz, Stuart Steer, Benson, Marte, Travino,

2173
01:56:25,520 --> 01:56:30,360
Speaker 4: Hayes with Singer on the mound. First pitch at three

2174
01:56:30,440 --> 01:56:32,160
Speaker 4: oh five from Goodyear Ballpark.

2175
01:56:32,480 --> 01:56:34,800
Speaker 2: So obviously, opening Day, I don't think you're gonna see

2176
01:56:34,800 --> 01:56:38,440
Speaker 2: Will Benson against a lefty for the Boston Red Sox.

2177
01:56:38,520 --> 01:56:42,400
Speaker 2: You'll see, I'm sure Tyler Stevenson over Jose Travino and

2178
01:56:42,440 --> 01:56:45,160
Speaker 2: you'll get Aohanny O Suarez back in the lineup as

2179
01:56:45,240 --> 01:56:48,200
Speaker 2: that DH. Other than that, I feel like that's a

2180
01:56:48,240 --> 01:56:50,400
Speaker 2: good sample size of the players that are gonna be

2181
01:56:51,120 --> 01:56:53,000
Speaker 2: playing for this team on opening day in the lineup.

2182
01:56:53,080 --> 01:56:56,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, we still haven't seen Spencer Steer in the outfield yet. Yeah,

2183
01:56:57,000 --> 01:56:59,400
Speaker 3: at what point the game does that become a concern

2184
01:56:59,440 --> 01:57:01,160
Speaker 3: at all? Or is that just more of a curiosity.

2185
01:57:01,200 --> 01:57:03,800
Speaker 3: I mean no, I don't think so. I mean you're

2186
01:57:03,800 --> 01:57:05,360
Speaker 3: more concerned about his one for nine start.

2187
01:57:06,040 --> 01:57:09,680
Speaker 4: I don't care about that either. I just think it's

2188
01:57:09,840 --> 01:57:12,000
Speaker 4: weird that he hasn't played it in a game yet.

2189
01:57:12,520 --> 01:57:15,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's I just doesn't feel like there's a

2190
01:57:15,080 --> 01:57:18,000
Speaker 2: spot for him in the infield if you're going to

2191
01:57:18,080 --> 01:57:20,680
Speaker 2: have Steward at first and Suarez.

2192
01:57:20,360 --> 01:57:20,760
Speaker 3: Is the AH.

2193
01:57:20,880 --> 01:57:26,600
Speaker 4: And especially thinking at Great American Ballpark, left field is

2194
01:57:26,600 --> 01:57:30,360
Speaker 4: a very tricky place to play because of the sun. Now,

2195
01:57:30,400 --> 01:57:33,480
Speaker 4: those late you know, those night games at six forty,

2196
01:57:33,800 --> 01:57:36,840
Speaker 4: I mean you're out there cooking staring straight into the sun,

2197
01:57:37,720 --> 01:57:40,280
Speaker 4: and the Arizona sky they call it a high sky,

2198
01:57:40,400 --> 01:57:42,320
Speaker 4: is a little bit difficult to deal with as well.

2199
01:57:44,160 --> 01:57:46,840
Speaker 4: So I don't know why he wouldn't get more game

2200
01:57:46,880 --> 01:57:47,360
Speaker 4: reps there.

2201
01:57:47,440 --> 01:57:53,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, but okay, I it is it.

2202
01:57:54,040 --> 01:57:55,200
Speaker 3: I wonder a little bit about that.

2203
01:57:55,240 --> 01:57:58,720
Speaker 2: And also we have spent so much time talking about

2204
01:57:58,880 --> 01:58:03,160
Speaker 2: Hunter and Andrew Abbott. We talk about Lodolo and getting

2205
01:58:03,160 --> 01:58:05,600
Speaker 2: those guys to thirty starts each and what that would mean.

2206
01:58:06,160 --> 01:58:08,440
Speaker 2: And we've talked a lot about Chase Burns and I

2207
01:58:08,480 --> 01:58:11,320
Speaker 2: think Rhet Louder in his last night Louder had a

2208
01:58:11,320 --> 01:58:12,800
Speaker 2: good out in his wealth I'm not mistaken.

2209
01:58:13,000 --> 01:58:15,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, pitted really well in his last spring training out here.

2210
01:58:15,880 --> 01:58:16,920
Speaker 5: Ret Louder looks filthy.

2211
01:58:17,160 --> 01:58:19,320
Speaker 2: The one guy we haven't really talked about is the

2212
01:58:19,360 --> 01:58:21,360
Speaker 2: guy that I think a lot of people saw it

2213
01:58:21,440 --> 01:58:22,880
Speaker 2: is okay if they're going to move on from someone

2214
01:58:22,920 --> 01:58:26,080
Speaker 2: that's going to be Brady Singer, they didn't Brady Singer

2215
01:58:26,160 --> 01:58:28,680
Speaker 2: is here. How pivotal is his role on this team

2216
01:58:28,720 --> 01:58:29,040
Speaker 2: this year?

2217
01:58:29,280 --> 01:58:31,560
Speaker 3: Huge? Need him to be consistent, need him to be

2218
01:58:31,640 --> 01:58:33,120
Speaker 3: exactly who he was a year.

2219
01:58:33,240 --> 01:58:35,560
Speaker 2: I would say, if you get last year's Brady Singer

2220
01:58:36,120 --> 01:58:37,360
Speaker 2: this year, are you happy with that?

2221
01:58:37,600 --> 01:58:39,560
Speaker 3: Yeah? You'd be thrilled with that. Without a doubt.

2222
01:58:40,520 --> 01:58:45,480
Speaker 2: He's a key piece to what this team is looking

2223
01:58:45,480 --> 01:58:47,880
Speaker 2: to do next year. Or this year, and he is

2224
01:58:47,920 --> 01:58:51,440
Speaker 2: again making his first start of the spring.

2225
01:58:51,200 --> 01:58:51,880
Speaker 3: For the Reds today.

2226
01:58:51,920 --> 01:58:55,520
Speaker 4: I believe we'll also see Brandon Williamson at some point.

2227
01:58:55,640 --> 01:58:59,240
Speaker 4: Sam Maul maybe as well. Sam Mal's been okay, not

2228
01:58:59,360 --> 01:59:02,400
Speaker 4: great so far to start the spring, but Brandon Williamson's

2229
01:59:02,400 --> 01:59:03,280
Speaker 4: been pretty good as well.

2230
01:59:03,400 --> 01:59:07,400
Speaker 3: Okay. Brady Singer songwriter.

2231
01:59:07,320 --> 01:59:12,160
Speaker 2: Brady Singer songwriter? What was Brady what was his era last.

2232
01:59:12,040 --> 01:59:13,680
Speaker 3: Year and the year ended? I don't have in front

2233
01:59:13,680 --> 01:59:15,640
Speaker 3: of me, great question. I don't know either, So.

2234
01:59:15,640 --> 01:59:18,440
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to think if you get in that

2235
01:59:18,680 --> 01:59:23,600
Speaker 2: production from Brady Singer this year, the Reds are.

2236
01:59:23,520 --> 01:59:27,880
Speaker 4: What Brady Singer last year started thirty two games and

2237
01:59:27,960 --> 01:59:31,880
Speaker 4: had a four point zero three earned run average. Okay,

2238
01:59:31,920 --> 01:59:34,600
Speaker 4: if I remember correctly, there was a couple games late

2239
01:59:35,840 --> 01:59:40,280
Speaker 4: he got banged up. Yeah, his last two starts he

2240
01:59:40,320 --> 01:59:43,120
Speaker 4: gave up four earned runs to the Pirates and three

2241
01:59:43,160 --> 01:59:44,120
Speaker 4: earned runs.

2242
01:59:43,800 --> 01:59:44,440
Speaker 3: To the Brewers.

2243
01:59:44,560 --> 01:59:48,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, wash rinse Reisner.

2244
01:59:48,840 --> 01:59:49,360
Speaker 3: Maybe I don't.

2245
01:59:49,360 --> 01:59:51,960
Speaker 2: I don't think I'm going with that as it pertains

2246
01:59:51,960 --> 01:59:54,560
Speaker 2: to women's college basketball. Did just want to make to

2247
01:59:54,600 --> 01:59:58,800
Speaker 2: mention another year of Geno Oriama, another undefeated regular season

2248
01:59:58,840 --> 02:00:02,040
Speaker 2: thirty one to oh has won forty seven straight games.

2249
02:00:02,080 --> 02:00:07,240
Speaker 2: They finished this regular season at thirty one and oh

2250
02:00:07,280 --> 02:00:10,120
Speaker 2: and the unanimous number one in the AP pole for

2251
02:00:10,240 --> 02:00:17,360
Speaker 2: women's college basketball as well. Gino just never stops. Yukon

2252
02:00:17,520 --> 02:00:20,160
Speaker 2: is an absolute powerhouse. Do we have anything else that

2253
02:00:20,160 --> 02:00:21,960
Speaker 2: we're gonna get to before we got a minute or

2254
02:00:22,000 --> 02:00:23,120
Speaker 2: two before we get to Moego?

2255
02:00:23,200 --> 02:00:24,920
Speaker 3: Well, you know what, let me just check my sheet

2256
02:00:24,960 --> 02:00:26,600
Speaker 3: here to see if did you have anything else on

2257
02:00:26,640 --> 02:00:28,680
Speaker 3: your sheet? We talked about that we missed.

2258
02:00:28,720 --> 02:00:31,200
Speaker 2: The Browns made a move, the Texans made a move,

2259
02:00:31,560 --> 02:00:34,040
Speaker 2: The Chiefs released their attack on I got a colored

2260
02:00:34,240 --> 02:00:36,120
Speaker 2: twenty million and Tyler Reddick one again.

2261
02:00:37,000 --> 02:00:41,680
Speaker 4: Two things. Congratulations to former Bengal Von Bell. That's right,

2262
02:00:41,920 --> 02:00:44,680
Speaker 4: Von Bell, it was announced over the weekend, is the

2263
02:00:44,720 --> 02:00:50,000
Speaker 4: new safeties coach at Colorado alongside Dion Sanders.

2264
02:00:50,480 --> 02:00:50,720
Speaker 3: Now.

2265
02:00:50,760 --> 02:00:53,520
Speaker 4: He was apparently I didn't know this, an analyst on

2266
02:00:53,600 --> 02:00:55,840
Speaker 4: the defensive side of the ball with them last year.

2267
02:00:56,520 --> 02:01:00,840
Speaker 4: Now has been upgraded to safeties coach. Former defensive backs

2268
02:01:00,880 --> 02:01:04,760
Speaker 4: coach Robert Livingston is the defensive coordinator there. He was

2269
02:01:04,800 --> 02:01:09,240
Speaker 4: the DB's coach in Cincinnati with Von Bell with the Bengals,

2270
02:01:09,360 --> 02:01:11,840
Speaker 4: so there's a connection there. Obviously, with Deon Sanders as

2271
02:01:11,880 --> 02:01:14,320
Speaker 4: well Von Bell I think will end up being a

2272
02:01:14,760 --> 02:01:17,440
Speaker 4: great coach. And the second thing, I was going to

2273
02:01:17,480 --> 02:01:21,000
Speaker 4: ask you if you had gotten in the mail yet

2274
02:01:21,280 --> 02:01:26,160
Speaker 4: you're saved the date for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey's wedding,

2275
02:01:26,240 --> 02:01:28,400
Speaker 4: because apparently a date has been selected.

2276
02:01:28,480 --> 02:01:31,040
Speaker 3: I saw this, what was this late June June thirteen.

2277
02:01:32,000 --> 02:01:34,760
Speaker 4: Yet, if you're a Taylor Swift fan, if you're at

2278
02:01:34,800 --> 02:01:37,240
Speaker 4: all in the Swift universe, you know that the number

2279
02:01:37,240 --> 02:01:39,840
Speaker 4: thirteen is like her number, It's like her thing.

2280
02:01:40,800 --> 02:01:43,520
Speaker 3: So you haven't You guys haven't gotten to saved the

2281
02:01:43,560 --> 02:01:43,960
Speaker 3: date yet.

2282
02:01:44,000 --> 02:01:46,080
Speaker 2: I have not gotten any type of save the date yet.

2283
02:01:46,200 --> 02:01:49,840
Speaker 2: Interesting you think those have already been sent out? Maybe

2284
02:01:49,880 --> 02:01:52,440
Speaker 2: not relate to the party. Maybe it's on its way. Man,

2285
02:01:52,480 --> 02:01:54,920
Speaker 2: if they just decided, you think this is a done deal.

2286
02:01:55,680 --> 02:01:59,400
Speaker 4: I saw that Tom Hollinins and Dya got married, really

2287
02:01:59,400 --> 02:02:00,400
Speaker 4: and nobody knew about it.

2288
02:02:00,440 --> 02:02:01,000
Speaker 3: I didn't know that.

2289
02:02:01,240 --> 02:02:04,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna talk about some NDA's being signed. Even

2290
02:02:04,920 --> 02:02:09,160
Speaker 4: TMZ couldn't get a picture at that wedding. Anyways, I

2291
02:02:09,200 --> 02:02:12,240
Speaker 4: know everyone's really excited. Taylor and Travis set the date

2292
02:02:12,640 --> 02:02:14,360
Speaker 4: June thirteenth, twenty twenty six.

2293
02:02:14,720 --> 02:02:17,160
Speaker 5: All right, where's the wedding going to be at? I

2294
02:02:17,200 --> 02:02:19,760
Speaker 5: don't know here in Cincinnati, man, I'm not that deep

2295
02:02:19,800 --> 02:02:24,440
Speaker 5: into the lore to know. Maybe here in Cincinnati, I

2296
02:02:24,520 --> 02:02:24,880
Speaker 5: doubt it.

2297
02:02:24,960 --> 02:02:28,160
Speaker 2: Travis's brother Jason was a part of the wild Man's

2298
02:02:28,160 --> 02:02:31,040
Speaker 2: Weekend because he got some ww Universe cars that came

2299
02:02:31,080 --> 02:02:32,400
Speaker 2: out from tops over the weekend.

2300
02:02:32,440 --> 02:02:35,000
Speaker 4: All right, I got something to say about Jason Kelsey. Okay,

2301
02:02:35,440 --> 02:02:37,680
Speaker 4: I got something to say. Really, this goes to all

2302
02:02:37,720 --> 02:02:40,320
Speaker 4: of life. One of the best piece of advice I

2303
02:02:40,360 --> 02:02:43,560
Speaker 4: ever got came from Dan Hord. Dan Hord said, when

2304
02:02:43,600 --> 02:02:46,040
Speaker 4: you are an up and coming aspiring day it's going

2305
02:02:46,040 --> 02:02:48,720
Speaker 4: to be on the showsday journalist, whatever it might be.

2306
02:02:49,000 --> 02:02:52,760
Speaker 4: Never say no. Say yes to everything. Yeah, learn, figure

2307
02:02:52,800 --> 02:02:55,240
Speaker 4: out what you like. Blah blah blah blah blah. I

2308
02:02:55,320 --> 02:03:00,600
Speaker 4: would say, once you are an established celebrity and analyst

2309
02:03:01,040 --> 02:03:06,640
Speaker 4: and athlete and talking head media member, you should probably

2310
02:03:06,640 --> 02:03:09,880
Speaker 4: say no more often. Jason Kelsey is going to be

2311
02:03:09,920 --> 02:03:13,880
Speaker 4: a guest analyst at the TGL. Really, the Golf League.

2312
02:03:13,960 --> 02:03:16,400
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, maybe just say yes to anything

2313
02:03:16,600 --> 02:03:20,520
Speaker 4: I really like. I really like Jason Kelsey, I really do.

2314
02:03:21,920 --> 02:03:25,320
Speaker 4: Maybe you don't need to be on everything all the time,

2315
02:03:25,360 --> 02:03:27,280
Speaker 4: because that's how people get sick and tired of you

2316
02:03:27,320 --> 02:03:30,640
Speaker 4: real quick. I have no interest in what Jason Kelsey

2317
02:03:30,680 --> 02:03:32,400
Speaker 4: thinks about the TGL.

2318
02:03:32,520 --> 02:03:33,640
Speaker 3: Just like Steven A. Smith.

2319
02:03:33,720 --> 02:03:39,040
Speaker 4: That dude's everywhere who cares like I do not need

2320
02:03:39,080 --> 02:03:41,240
Speaker 4: to know what Steven A. Smith thinks about what's going

2321
02:03:41,280 --> 02:03:43,320
Speaker 4: on in Iran. I don't need to know what he

2322
02:03:43,400 --> 02:03:46,800
Speaker 4: thinks about what's going on in golf. I really care

2323
02:03:46,840 --> 02:03:48,920
Speaker 4: about Steven A. Smith's opinions when it comes to the

2324
02:03:49,040 --> 02:03:51,560
Speaker 4: NBA because he came up as an NBA reporter and

2325
02:03:51,600 --> 02:03:54,480
Speaker 4: I think is still very well entrenched in that league.

2326
02:03:54,520 --> 02:03:56,560
Speaker 4: Everything else, I don't need to see him on every

2327
02:03:56,600 --> 02:03:57,400
Speaker 4: freaking show.

2328
02:03:57,560 --> 02:03:59,640
Speaker 3: That's fair. I kind of feel the same way about

2329
02:03:59,680 --> 02:04:00,480
Speaker 3: Jason Kelsey.

2330
02:04:01,720 --> 02:04:04,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, while for exposure is an issue, he pulled a

2331
02:04:04,720 --> 02:04:07,240
Speaker 2: Jason Kelsey card in a WW tops pack.

2332
02:04:07,440 --> 02:04:09,400
Speaker 3: That's kind of cool. See there's another example. What's he

2333
02:04:09,440 --> 02:04:11,760
Speaker 3: doing on WW? I don't know. It's what I'm wondering.

2334
02:04:11,880 --> 02:04:12,560
Speaker 6: Is he doing over there?

2335
02:04:12,800 --> 02:04:17,360
Speaker 3: Is everywhere? I can't get enough. I'm about to say it.

2336
02:04:17,600 --> 02:04:21,480
Speaker 2: No Er Joins is next dot ESBN fifteen thirty Cincinnati

2344
02:04:44,680 --> 02:04:47,320
Speaker 3: of when the Turtleman visited the studios because Tony talked

2345
02:04:47,360 --> 02:04:48,880
Speaker 3: about it today like it was the best day of

2346
02:04:48,880 --> 02:04:49,280
Speaker 3: his life.

2347
02:04:49,480 --> 02:04:52,440
Speaker 2: I don't remember this, Oh man, when did this happen?

2348
02:04:52,680 --> 02:04:55,320
Speaker 2: This was the old studio. This was Jimmy Sandy days,

2349
02:04:55,760 --> 02:04:58,200
Speaker 2: Turtleman and squirrel or in studio.

2350
02:04:58,440 --> 02:05:00,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have no recollection of this.

2351
02:05:00,640 --> 02:05:02,960
Speaker 2: Jimmy tracked him down for me to get a picture

2352
02:05:02,960 --> 02:05:05,400
Speaker 2: in the hallway. Yeah, it was him and squirrel squirrels

2353
02:05:05,480 --> 02:05:08,520
Speaker 2: since past, right, But Turtleman's still kicking. He's not on

2354
02:05:08,600 --> 02:05:13,160
Speaker 2: TV anymore because he did like he caught deers illegally

2355
02:05:13,280 --> 02:05:15,920
Speaker 2: and oh I see, did some like baby raccoons. I

2356
02:05:15,960 --> 02:05:19,000
Speaker 2: have no recollection really whatsoever. I mean, I'm not saying

2357
02:05:19,040 --> 02:05:19,560
Speaker 2: it didn't happen.

2358
02:05:19,600 --> 02:05:21,760
Speaker 3: He was the most obscure visitor you ever remember at

2359
02:05:21,760 --> 02:05:22,480
Speaker 3: the at the station.

2360
02:05:23,760 --> 02:05:29,040
Speaker 5: Remember the Miller Highlife guy the dude who was like,

2361
02:05:29,080 --> 02:05:31,840
Speaker 5: oh my gosh. Yeah, he's since passed as well.

2362
02:05:34,120 --> 02:05:35,200
Speaker 3: But what was his name?

2363
02:05:35,440 --> 02:05:38,280
Speaker 5: He I forget the whole gimmick, Like I forget what

2364
02:05:38,320 --> 02:05:42,200
Speaker 5: the bit was. Uh, but he was like a truck,

2365
02:05:42,360 --> 02:05:46,280
Speaker 5: like the Miller High Life truck driver. Yeah, Wendell MIDDLEBROOKSD.

2366
02:05:46,440 --> 02:05:50,320
Speaker 5: Middlebrooks happened to be in studio for some reason. And

2367
02:05:50,400 --> 02:05:52,600
Speaker 5: I don't know which show he was on, but we

2368
02:05:52,600 --> 02:05:54,400
Speaker 5: were in the I was in the kitchen like getting

2369
02:05:54,440 --> 02:05:56,760
Speaker 5: a Dia coke out of the vending machine, and I

2370
02:05:56,880 --> 02:05:59,040
Speaker 5: just like turned the corner and I'm like, oh, yeah,

2371
02:05:59,080 --> 02:06:00,480
Speaker 5: the Miller Highlight guy.

2372
02:06:00,520 --> 02:06:02,840
Speaker 3: He's like, yeah, what's up? So I got to meet him.

2373
02:06:03,520 --> 02:06:08,800
Speaker 5: Uh. He was just always lugging around Miller Highlight. Yeah yeah,

2374
02:06:08,880 --> 02:06:11,440
Speaker 5: and he is since passed. Back in the day, Kiss

2375
02:06:11,480 --> 02:06:13,840
Speaker 5: one O seven used to have these in studio performances

2376
02:06:14,520 --> 02:06:18,600
Speaker 5: and they had Rihanna before Rihanna got famous. But they

2377
02:06:18,640 --> 02:06:20,440
Speaker 5: came to us, They're like, hey, Rihanna is going to

2378
02:06:20,480 --> 02:06:23,280
Speaker 5: be here. You're not allowed to look at her. I'm like,

2379
02:06:25,000 --> 02:06:26,880
Speaker 5: and tell me who to look at. So the parade

2380
02:06:26,880 --> 02:06:31,520
Speaker 5: are down the hall and she was stunningly beautiful, looked

2381
02:06:31,640 --> 02:06:35,400
Speaker 5: no remote idea who she was went on to achieve something.

2382
02:06:35,400 --> 02:06:37,160
Speaker 2: There was a time I think early on in these

2383
02:06:37,200 --> 02:06:40,360
Speaker 2: new studios that Jelly Roll was in. Yeah, I met

2384
02:06:40,440 --> 02:06:46,120
Speaker 2: jelly Roll. He's since blown up as well. Yes that's true.

2385
02:06:46,160 --> 02:06:47,640
Speaker 2: Since that's true.

2386
02:06:47,960 --> 02:06:52,520
Speaker 5: They also years ago Taylor Hicks was here and they're like, hey,

2387
02:06:52,520 --> 02:06:56,400
Speaker 5: Taylor Hicks is here, and I'm standing there and I go,

2388
02:06:56,760 --> 02:06:59,480
Speaker 5: don't know who that is? And literally I was standing

2389
02:06:59,480 --> 02:07:01,280
Speaker 5: as far from Taylor Hicks as I am from you.

2390
02:07:02,400 --> 02:07:04,480
Speaker 5: I'm Taylor Hicks, our guy, Taran. Just send me the

2391
02:07:04,520 --> 02:07:07,200
Speaker 5: photo of me and him with Turtle Man and Squirrel. Okay,

2392
02:07:07,280 --> 02:07:12,640
Speaker 5: Old Studios. Wow, fantastic. I don't remember this, but you

2393
02:07:12,680 --> 02:07:15,160
Speaker 5: got coming up on the show today. Bengals have made

2394
02:07:15,160 --> 02:07:17,480
Speaker 5: a lamp. The off season is.

2395
02:07:17,480 --> 02:07:20,280
Speaker 3: Going to be good, happiest of laps ever. Yeah, because

2396
02:07:20,320 --> 02:07:22,600
Speaker 3: they've made a layup. It is hard for a guard

2397
02:07:22,720 --> 02:07:25,560
Speaker 3: to become a fan favorite. I think Dalton Eisner did today.

2398
02:07:26,360 --> 02:07:29,160
Speaker 5: So we're gonna obviously spend a lot of time on

2399
02:07:29,200 --> 02:07:31,640
Speaker 5: the Bengals starting the off season by making a layup

2400
02:07:31,640 --> 02:07:33,480
Speaker 5: and then kind of go into what it might mean

2401
02:07:33,520 --> 02:07:38,240
Speaker 5: from here. There's room in life for multiple truths, and

2402
02:07:38,280 --> 02:07:41,000
Speaker 5: I think there's room for life when it comes to

2403
02:07:41,200 --> 02:07:46,520
Speaker 5: multiple truths and Miami University basketball. So Bruce Pearl is

2404
02:07:46,880 --> 02:07:49,400
Speaker 5: the the ady of Miami's like throwing shade at Bruce

2405
02:07:49,440 --> 02:07:52,320
Speaker 5: Pearl because Bruce Pearl threw shade at Miami, and we're

2406
02:07:52,360 --> 02:07:54,320
Speaker 5: gonna we're gonna try to talk about this from a

2407
02:07:54,360 --> 02:07:57,560
Speaker 5: common sense perspective. The weekend that was in college basketball,

2408
02:07:57,600 --> 02:08:01,720
Speaker 5: which included another NCAA tournament worthy performance by the Bearcats.

2409
02:08:02,080 --> 02:08:04,200
Speaker 5: We've got Reds and Cubs happening right now and so

2410
02:08:04,320 --> 02:08:04,960
Speaker 5: much more.

2411
02:08:05,040 --> 02:08:09,120
Speaker 2: The Bearcats was the classic no stress game. It was

2412
02:08:09,240 --> 02:08:11,840
Speaker 2: which are few and far between in the Big East

2413
02:08:11,920 --> 02:08:14,920
Speaker 2: and or Big Twelve. And I said this today, and

2414
02:08:14,960 --> 02:08:16,680
Speaker 2: I know it falls on a lot of deaf ears

2415
02:08:16,680 --> 02:08:18,600
Speaker 2: because people already have their mind made up about the

2416
02:08:18,640 --> 02:08:21,200
Speaker 2: program and the direction it's going. Say what you want.

2417
02:08:21,240 --> 02:08:23,000
Speaker 2: They have been over the last month or so of

2418
02:08:23,040 --> 02:08:25,040
Speaker 2: the season and NCAA tournament team.

2419
02:08:25,080 --> 02:08:27,120
Speaker 5: I put that on social media on Saturday. The last

2420
02:08:27,120 --> 02:08:30,760
Speaker 5: three weeks they've played like a tournament team. That doesn't

2421
02:08:30,800 --> 02:08:31,520
Speaker 5: mean they're perfect.

2422
02:08:31,880 --> 02:08:35,120
Speaker 2: And the loss of Texas Tech, that's a Texas Tech team.

2423
02:08:35,320 --> 02:08:37,120
Speaker 2: I thought that was the most impressive one of the weekend.

2424
02:08:37,200 --> 02:08:39,080
Speaker 2: What they did against Iowa State because they were left

2425
02:08:39,120 --> 02:08:42,200
Speaker 2: for dead, and rightfully so when Topping gets injured. Yeah,

2426
02:08:42,240 --> 02:08:45,880
Speaker 2: the way they play right now is dangerous from a

2427
02:08:45,960 --> 02:08:46,840
Speaker 2: UC perspective.

2428
02:08:46,840 --> 02:08:50,880
Speaker 5: It stinks because they have played like a tournament team.

2429
02:08:50,920 --> 02:08:53,000
Speaker 5: In all likelihood, they're not going to be one. Just

2430
02:08:53,600 --> 02:08:55,080
Speaker 5: call it what it is, and if I'm.

2431
02:08:54,960 --> 02:08:57,160
Speaker 2: Wrong on the walls, we'll we discuss this. You know,

2432
02:08:57,200 --> 02:08:58,680
Speaker 2: tomorrow night at eleven o'clock.

2433
02:08:58,720 --> 02:08:59,760
Speaker 5: The odds are not in their favor.

2434
02:09:00,560 --> 02:09:01,160
Speaker 3: Call what it is.

2435
02:09:01,200 --> 02:09:03,520
Speaker 5: The odds are not in their favor. You and I

2436
02:09:03,560 --> 02:09:06,240
Speaker 5: were just talking off air. You just you constantly ask

2437
02:09:06,320 --> 02:09:09,240
Speaker 5: what if? What if they beat Eastern Michigan and Xavier

2438
02:09:09,440 --> 02:09:11,960
Speaker 5: and just those two. That Xavier game is one that

2439
02:09:12,000 --> 02:09:15,760
Speaker 5: I believe talent versus talent Cincinnati should have won. Give

2440
02:09:15,800 --> 02:09:19,880
Speaker 5: credit to the Musketeers for winning. But you cannot help

2441
02:09:19,920 --> 02:09:22,440
Speaker 5: but watch this team through that lens. What if they

2442
02:09:22,520 --> 02:09:26,440
Speaker 5: just would have avoided those two losses. You can't undo them.

2443
02:09:26,880 --> 02:09:30,560
Speaker 5: They have a very uphill battle. But Wes Miller bared

2444
02:09:30,560 --> 02:09:32,440
Speaker 5: his soul a little bit more than three weeks ago

2445
02:09:32,480 --> 02:09:34,920
Speaker 5: after a home loss to West Virginia in which they

2446
02:09:34,920 --> 02:09:37,920
Speaker 5: scored fifty four points and The takeaway that a lot

2447
02:09:37,960 --> 02:09:40,800
Speaker 5: of people had about this team was it's about to

2448
02:09:40,840 --> 02:09:43,960
Speaker 5: get really bad. Instead, they have won five out of six.

2449
02:09:44,400 --> 02:09:47,360
Speaker 5: They've played legitimately really well in three of those games,

2450
02:09:47,600 --> 02:09:51,560
Speaker 5: escaped against Utah, didn't beat Texas Tech. No shame in that.

2451
02:09:52,240 --> 02:09:56,200
Speaker 5: They They look like a tournament team right now. Unfortunately,

2452
02:09:56,280 --> 02:09:59,480
Speaker 5: it's gonna take a lot for them to actually be

2453
02:09:59,520 --> 02:10:01,400
Speaker 5: a tournament team, and that's deeply frustrated.

2454
02:10:01,440 --> 02:10:04,160
Speaker 2: The first chance they get us tomorrow night, Quad one opportunity,

2455
02:10:04,280 --> 02:10:09,680
Speaker 2: huge opportunity if if they do win the next two. Again,

2456
02:10:10,120 --> 02:10:12,120
Speaker 2: I get what the early season was, and I think

2457
02:10:12,160 --> 02:10:15,680
Speaker 2: it's hard to judge his team pre Jizsel, but you

2458
02:10:15,760 --> 02:10:18,640
Speaker 2: get a ten and eight Big Twelve slate and you'd

2459
02:10:18,680 --> 02:10:21,080
Speaker 2: be eighteen and thirteen overall with an opportunity to maybe

2460
02:10:21,200 --> 02:10:23,000
Speaker 2: go steal two in the Big twelve tournament and see

2461
02:10:23,000 --> 02:10:23,760
Speaker 2: what happens.

2462
02:10:24,200 --> 02:10:27,520
Speaker 3: I think that's minimum. But I agree losing one of

2463
02:10:27,520 --> 02:10:28,240
Speaker 3: the next two eends in.

2464
02:10:28,920 --> 02:10:31,840
Speaker 5: Yeah. I agree with something that Chad and I talked

2465
02:10:31,840 --> 02:10:35,320
Speaker 5: about last week, which is that it feels at times

2466
02:10:36,360 --> 02:10:38,960
Speaker 5: like when Selection Sunday gets here and you look at

2467
02:10:39,000 --> 02:10:41,200
Speaker 5: the bracket, it kind of feels like they didn't put

2468
02:10:41,200 --> 02:10:45,680
Speaker 5: as much weight in the conference tournament as we do,

2469
02:10:46,000 --> 02:10:50,720
Speaker 5: so like who do they beat in those games? But

2470
02:10:51,440 --> 02:10:54,600
Speaker 5: it feels like the conversation only happens if they win

2471
02:10:55,000 --> 02:10:59,000
Speaker 5: the next four, which is gonna be tough. They're gonna

2472
02:10:59,000 --> 02:11:00,520
Speaker 5: be dogs tomorrow against b YU.

2473
02:11:01,040 --> 02:11:02,320
Speaker 3: You think they'll be a home dog? To mind, I

2474
02:11:02,360 --> 02:11:04,240
Speaker 3: do it slight, yeah, but I do.

2475
02:11:04,440 --> 02:11:06,560
Speaker 5: And if they're favored, it ain't gonna be by a

2476
02:11:06,600 --> 02:11:10,720
Speaker 5: lot and then probably rode dogs against h against TCU.

2477
02:11:11,120 --> 02:11:13,600
Speaker 5: But you also need some stuff to happen, like Ohio

2478
02:11:13,680 --> 02:11:17,000
Speaker 5: State winning yesterday did not help Indiana losing yesterday did,

2479
02:11:17,080 --> 02:11:19,040
Speaker 5: But they're not gonna get dinged for losing at home

2480
02:11:19,080 --> 02:11:19,880
Speaker 5: to Michigan State.

2481
02:11:20,000 --> 02:11:21,360
Speaker 3: Like that's the thing.

2482
02:11:21,440 --> 02:11:24,240
Speaker 5: Like the teams in front of them, whoever they are,

2483
02:11:24,280 --> 02:11:26,760
Speaker 5: and however many teams there are, like you need their

2484
02:11:26,760 --> 02:11:31,160
Speaker 5: help too, So like Ohio State fans now feel like

2485
02:11:31,280 --> 02:11:33,640
Speaker 5: our teams in and I think if the bracket were

2486
02:11:33,680 --> 02:11:35,440
Speaker 5: being drawn up today, they would be in. But like

2487
02:11:36,160 --> 02:11:38,920
Speaker 5: it's it's what makes it so much fun. But it's

2488
02:11:38,960 --> 02:11:42,320
Speaker 5: so much more broad than what you see just needs

2489
02:11:42,360 --> 02:11:44,440
Speaker 5: to win the next four, you've you you need some

2490
02:11:44,480 --> 02:11:46,400
Speaker 5: help from the teams that you're trying to leave frog.

2491
02:11:46,880 --> 02:11:49,360
Speaker 5: So how many of those teams keep winning? How many

2492
02:11:49,400 --> 02:11:52,440
Speaker 5: of those teams fall apart? Like that's the part that

2493
02:11:52,520 --> 02:11:54,680
Speaker 5: makes it fun, but it makes it frustrating because you

2494
02:11:54,720 --> 02:11:56,240
Speaker 5: don't know, do you.

2495
02:11:56,280 --> 02:11:59,080
Speaker 2: Uh, do you put any stock in Hunter Green's concerns

2496
02:11:59,120 --> 02:12:04,560
Speaker 2: clearly with the ABS system. I mean, it's it's spring training.

2497
02:12:04,640 --> 02:12:06,640
Speaker 2: Just talking be like, hey, I'm working on stuff. We'll

2498
02:12:06,640 --> 02:12:09,360
Speaker 2: be all right. Seems like he's not happy with something

2499
02:12:09,360 --> 02:12:10,640
Speaker 2: that's gonna stick around this year and.

2500
02:12:11,280 --> 02:12:13,560
Speaker 3: It ain't going anywhere. It ain't going anywhere. He was

2501
02:12:13,560 --> 02:12:14,600
Speaker 3: like throwing pitches down the middle.

2502
02:12:16,120 --> 02:12:20,240
Speaker 5: Well, no, it's just got news for you, Hunter, No, no, no, no, no,

2503
02:12:20,280 --> 02:12:23,840
Speaker 5: that that doesn't know. I was not aware that there's

2504
02:12:23,880 --> 02:12:26,960
Speaker 5: a rule that you can come out of the game

2505
02:12:27,320 --> 02:12:30,680
Speaker 5: in the spring and then be reinserted. So I was

2506
02:12:30,720 --> 02:12:33,600
Speaker 5: at the UC game and I'm interested in how Hunter

2507
02:12:33,640 --> 02:12:35,240
Speaker 5: Green is doing. And I look at the box score

2508
02:12:35,280 --> 02:12:37,920
Speaker 5: and I go not good. And then I look and

2509
02:12:37,960 --> 02:12:40,600
Speaker 5: he's back on the mound after not getting the last

2510
02:12:40,600 --> 02:12:42,800
Speaker 5: three outs of the first inning, He's back out for

2511
02:12:42,840 --> 02:12:45,360
Speaker 5: the second inning. Should this be something we have during

2512
02:12:45,360 --> 02:12:48,520
Speaker 5: baseball games in the regular season, you know, hey, go inside,

2513
02:12:48,560 --> 02:12:49,080
Speaker 5: get a drink.

2514
02:12:49,120 --> 02:12:50,520
Speaker 3: It's something you get a snack.

2515
02:12:50,280 --> 02:12:54,960
Speaker 2: To prevent guys from cracking beers. Like Castianos, I wasn't aware.

2516
02:12:55,080 --> 02:12:57,240
Speaker 2: Not a good actually might encourage that. Not a good

2517
02:12:57,280 --> 02:12:58,920
Speaker 2: spring start for for Hunter Green.

2518
02:12:59,440 --> 02:13:00,960
Speaker 5: But he's going to have to get used to the

2519
02:13:01,000 --> 02:13:04,400
Speaker 5: ABS system because it's it's not going anywhere. The Reds

2520
02:13:04,400 --> 02:13:08,360
Speaker 5: are what's second worst in ABS challenges? They're the best,

2521
02:13:08,400 --> 02:13:11,000
Speaker 5: They're the best, but the best in ABS challenges. Yep,

2522
02:13:11,040 --> 02:13:12,440
Speaker 5: yeah plus seven differential?

2523
02:13:13,120 --> 02:13:16,200
Speaker 2: Right, how much of a of a difference does do

2524
02:13:16,240 --> 02:13:18,440
Speaker 2: you think ABS, Like Charlie Goldsmith said Friday, like you

2525
02:13:18,520 --> 02:13:21,000
Speaker 2: can genuinely have a segment. He thinks every day in

2526
02:13:21,040 --> 02:13:23,880
Speaker 2: the in the baseball season of how ABS affected the

2527
02:13:24,160 --> 02:13:27,320
Speaker 2: games the previous day. Probably good, I mean that much

2528
02:13:27,320 --> 02:13:27,960
Speaker 2: of an impact.

2529
02:13:28,080 --> 02:13:28,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think.

2530
02:13:28,640 --> 02:13:30,880
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't think it's going to impact every game,

2531
02:13:30,920 --> 02:13:34,320
Speaker 5: but I I guess for me, it's like the replay

2532
02:13:34,360 --> 02:13:37,640
Speaker 5: system is not very intrusive, so I'm here for it. Yeah,

2533
02:13:37,680 --> 02:13:39,920
Speaker 5: you know, and I'm just sort of disrupt the flow

2534
02:13:39,920 --> 02:13:41,920
Speaker 5: of the game. I'm kind of the anti replay guy,

2535
02:13:42,080 --> 02:13:46,120
Speaker 5: but because most replay is intrusive, this doesn't feel intrusive.

2536
02:13:47,040 --> 02:13:50,760
Speaker 5: I uh, if anything, that forces the umpires to be better.

2537
02:13:50,800 --> 02:13:53,240
Speaker 5: I'm here for yeah, and I think that's been the

2538
02:13:53,240 --> 02:13:55,280
Speaker 5: issue in that sport. It's it's not that we need

2539
02:13:55,320 --> 02:13:57,760
Speaker 5: more replay, it's we need better umpiring. We need those

2540
02:13:57,760 --> 02:13:59,080
Speaker 5: guys to be held more accountable.

2541
02:13:59,160 --> 02:14:03,240
Speaker 2: That's it. That's what's coming up next, Moegar. Have a

2542
